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.
The ESL Starter Kit combines Celoxica's flagship DK Design Suite of C-based design and synthesis tools, with a multifeatured Celoxica RC10 Xilinx FPGA development board.
The ESL Starter Kit includes everything users will need to program the card directly from C-based algorithms, including the Xilinx Integrated Software Environment (ISE) suite, full board support libraries and comprehensive design tutorials.
The RC10 development board included in the kit features a user programmable Spartan-3 FPGA, high speed ADCs, a wide range of I/O, CMOS camera socket and host integration through USB 2.0.

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.
"With this new ESL Starter Kit, Celoxica continues to demonstrate its commitment to the provision of lead-edge design solutions that make it easier to implement programmable systems", said Steve Lass, Director of Software Product Marketing at Xilinx.
"In a single package, software and algorithm designers can access the development hardware, the ESL software tools, and IP they need to program FPGA designs from C-language code".
"This customer-focused approach will help drive adoption of ESL methodologies for FPGA design".
Celoxica's ESL tools and development boards provide high productivity design environments for implementing complex software algorithms into Xilinx FPGA hardware.
The Celoxica DK Design Suite software-to-silicon design capabilities include an integrated development environment for C-based design entry; fast cycle-accurate simulation and debugging; mixed language cosimulation; codesign support for Xilinx MicroBlaze and PowerPC processors including direct synthesis to Xilinx EDIF or RTL VHDL and Verilog.
"Not only does the Xilinx ESL Initiative open up new markets and applications for FPGA technology, it also helps designers to leverage the system capabilities of modern FPGAs that combine programmable logic with DSP and microprocessors", said Jeff Jussel, Vice President of Worldwide Marketing for Celoxica.
"With this ESL Starter Kit, we've made it easy to access the industry's most successful C-based design solutions".
The Celoxica ESL Starter Kit is available for immediate delivery and provides easy access to ESL technology for anyone using Xilinx Spartan-3 FPGA devices.
