Presentation:
- Lary Ecker: FPGA Board Integration (a perl program)
The program is a simple solution for managing the complexity of integration between the applications
of Altera or Xilinx and Mentor, overview synchronization between the FPGA and the Expedition environments,
creating and updating design-specific library parts, generating and updating schematics in VBDC and
modifying FPGA pins. Two novel ideas will be presented. First, a "high density symbol" allows the
user to view the numerous pin properties in tables rather than in graphical mode. This interface
is highly efficient and informative. It allows pin swapping without the limitation of symbol fracture.
Secondly, we describe a simple "netline-combing" algorithm for automatic FPGA trace optimization
(rearranging pins so that the geometrical intersections between traces are minimized). The algorithm
sorts the FPGA and its peripheral pin-lists by angle, and creates connections according to the angular order of the pins.
The presentation will include some background material on the way for creating electronic schematics
and printed circuit boards and using FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) with a very high pin count.
