We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "FPGA synthesis",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Equivalence checker is made for the FPGA market from
OneSpin Solutions, which we summarised at the time by saying "Tool verifies functional equivalence between the RTL code and post-synthesis FPGA netlist, and between the post-synthesis netlist and post-place-and-route FPGA netlist".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release FPGA synthesis accepts VHDL and Verilog from
Mentor Graphics UK: "Simulink HDL Coder and Precision Synthesis provide a rapid path from Simulink models to FPGA implementation".
In September 2007, we covered the news from Synplicity
concerning its HAPS-51
- take a look at ASIC prototyping board boasts biggest FPGA
which says: "System provides a cost-effective, high-performance prototyping solution that reduces development time for today's challenging SoC designs".
Take a look also at the news release from ARM, Reference methodology eases Cortex-M1 design,
as well as Synthesis software support for new FPGAs from Synplicity,
and Processor is first specifically for FPGAs from ARM.
