Design Entry

Integrated Design Flow

Using Mentor Graphics' FPGA Advantage HDL design suite, designers are provided with a totally integrated flow from design entry through to Place and Route.

Graphical Entry

HDL Designer by Mentor Graphics can be used both for graphical capture of blocks that lend them selves to this approach, and as a text based design cockpit for other areas of the design.

Graphical entry facilities include block-diagrams, state machines and flow charts all of which allow the creation of self documenting source. For more textual designs, the tool provides benefits by tracking the design hierarchy, handling complexity and providing a powerful front end to a variety of version control systems.
