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 RC340 includes a 16 million gate Xilinx Virtex 4 FPGA, direct access to 32Mbyte of pipelined SRAM, a DIMM socket for DRAM and is supported with a wide range of video I/O and peripherals.
The RC340 is also available with the PixelStreams video IP library and a complete suite of electronic system level (ESL) design software for new levels of hardware/software integration.
High-performance video, including stereoscopic video applications, is enabled by the dual video inputs and outputs, including both digital video to the DVI standard and analogue video.

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.
As an option, the board can be supplied with a high-resolution 1024 x 768 12.1in TFT/touchscreen offering a quality and size of display unique in the industry, and a mobile and compact demonstration vehicle for imaging applications such as in-car infotainment and mobile devices.
Communications are provided by dual gigabit Ethernet MAC/PHYs and 10/100/1000BaseT sockets offering capability for data streaming, data distribution and high performance network applications.
The board also offers a USB 2.0 connection for high-speed bit file download and for host to FPGA application communications.
To assist with debug, application status reporting and user interaction, the board has eight user-programmable LEDs and a four-line 16-character LCD as well as audio in/out, including SPDIF digital out, PS2 keyboard and mouse connectors and dual RS232 ports.
The board also provides an SDCard socket for the storage of bit files for the FPGA and user application data.
"The RC340 is the latest and very capable addition to our industry proven and widely adopted RC300 Series of programmable platforms", said Graham McKenzie, Product Marketing Manager for Celoxica.
"Board level features and architecture have been optimised for high performance real-time video and imaging applications and the board is available stand alone or fully integrated into our ESL design software and video IP libraries".
The RC340 is available immediately.
The RC340 is also available via a range of application specific development kits provided by Celoxica.
