Free IP core range expanded
Xilinx' 10/100 Ethernet MAC Lite and IIC interface IP cores can now be licensed at no additional charge.
Xilinx has expanded its catalogue of no-fee intellectual property (IP) cores for designing embedded processing systems with Xilinx platform FPGAs The 10/100 Ethernet MAC Lite, single precision floating-point unit, industry standard UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter) 16450/16550 controller and IIC (Inter-Integrated Circuit) interface IP cores can now be licensed at no additional charge

FPGAs put 90nm process to competitive advantage
A new family of programmable chips aims to propel programmable logic devices further into high-volume, low-cost applications traditionally served by custom chips with fixed architectures.
Made available through the Xilinx Embedded Development Kit (EDK), the four IP cores have been ported to the enhanced on-chip CoreConnect bus structure, the Processor Local Bus version 4.6 (PLB46) that Xilinx introduced last November, to be implemented in designs using the MicroBlaze soft processor and the PowerPC processor embedded in the Virtex family of FPGAs.
"The EDK now includes over 40 popular cores for licensing at no charge that can be used for a wide range of applications for PowerPC and MicroBlaze processor systems", said Tim Erjavec, Director of Embedded and DSP Marketing at Xilinx.
"Using the EDK suite of no-fee IP cores, designers can select and build an unlimited number of configurations to meet their needs and not incur the additional costs associated with traditional IP license agreements".
