Full package for Altera FPGA development
A new development environment bundles Celoxica's Handel-C development tools with the SBS Tsunami FPGA computing platforms.
A new development environment bundles Celoxica's Handel-C development tools with the SBS Tsunami FPGA computing platforms, significantly shortening the programming time that embedded systems programmers need to leverage FPGA computing in their applications Celoxica's DK Design Suite provides a proven C-based programming environment, Handel-C, that lets C developers directly compile their code to a device-optimised FPGA implementation without requiring specialised expertise or RTL languages

Celoxica has announced the DK1 design suite, software that enables a fundamentally new approach to the design of electronic hardware.
Celoxica offers a free go at FPGA design
Celoxica DK1 Eval is a free evaluation version of the Celoxica DK1 design suite that is restricted to compilations for simulation only, with no EDIF or VHDL output capability.
With this added boost in productivity, developers can easily migrate applications to FPGA computing systems bringing the price and performance advantages of FPGA computing over processor-based systems to market faster with lower development costs.
"SBS Technologies successfully supplies a winning mix of embedded computing hardware for aerospace/defence, medical, commercial and telecommunications applications, markets that can take advantage of rapid implementation of complex algorithms into hardware", said Phil Bishop, Celoxica's CEO.
"Combining the Celoxica DK Design Suite with SBS Tsunami FPGA computing platforms rapidly provides a high-performance embedded solution that takes advantage of direct implementation of C-based code to FPGA hardware".

Board helps with small to medium FPGA prototyping
New from Celoxica, the RC100 stand-alone development board provides a rapid prototyping platform for small- to medium-sized FPGA designs.
Joe Hanson, Director of Marketing for System-Level Development Tools at Altera Corp adds: "The SBS and Celoxica relationship provides embedded systems developers a proven, COTS solution to quickly leverage the performance of our leading Stratix family of FPGAs.
Stratix devices lead the industry in providing the size and performance necessary to implement these complex systems.
This development bundle offers a tremendous combination of platforms that will enable customers to quickly evaluate the performance advantages of accelerating their C-based algorithms in AlteraR FPGAs.
We are very excited to recommend this combination to our customers".
The DK Design Suite supports the Altera Stratix device used in the Tsunami FPGA computing platform.
To ease programming effort, the suite's Handel-C synthesis tool performs retiming of critical paths, automatic use of FPGA combination multipliers and on-chip resources, and automatic pipelining of synchronous memory blocks.
Tsunami FPGA computing platform is available for most Stratix device sizes, in many form factors including PCI, PC-104, PMC, CPCI and environment temperature ranges from commercial to extreme duty conduction cooled.
The combined bundle is available immediately from either SBS Technologies or Celoxica.
Development kits bundles start at $10,500.
