Which is th e best tool for FPGA programming & optimisation?

 

[Renjith]

fpga s/w

Xilinx ISE s/w comes with almost all the of design flow tasks (i.e design entry to implementation), except simulationg tool. The Optimization level of these tools are also quite good, it's a very powerful tool.

what is the newest version of Xilinx ISE.

3 FPGA IDE s/w:

Xilinx ISE: Mature, Stable, Efficient, Best Online Support
Altera Quartus: Stable, Efficient
Lattice ispLever: Newcomer

I think the "best tool" term will depend also on your FPGA vendor... I mean if you are using Xilinx FPGAs then you got to use Xilinx ISE and not Altera Quartus...

Which FPGA s/w is good?

Xilinx: ISE + Modelsim + Leonardo Spectrum
Altera: Quartus + Modelsim + Leonardo Spectrum
Lattice: IspLever

@ltera: qu@rtus + debussy + Synplify Pro

Re: Which FPGA s/w is good?

replacing leonardo spectrum with precision RTL and Physical from mentor Graphics will give better performance numbers.
I have used both and compared and i am surprised by the performance and features in precision .

As far as sysnthesizing on fpgas go the synlify tool is the leader and ofcourse you have to go with the vendors tooo for place and route of their fpgas. DCfpga also does a good job but not as easily as with synplify pro from simplicity. Also you can do the synthesis job with vendors P&R tool and can get some good results.

i think you can try Synplify .

synplify is best tools for synthesis

Re: Which FPGA s/w is good?

synplify is best tools for synthesis

Hi Mic_huhu,
Hope u have worked with synplify, ise and some other synthesis tools for FPGA.
can u plz share, "in what aspects synplify is better than the other tools".
i'm working with ISE, i just wanted to try out Synplify then.

Re: Which FPGA s/w is good?

Using SYNPLIAFY for synthesis and Xilinix for the rest of teh Flow gives optimum results

Which FPGA s/w is good?

modelsim for hdl entry and simulation (maybe u could use hdl designer),synplify for synthesis and naturally vendors place and route for placement and routing.
