Description
Atmel’s Integrated Development System (IDS) lets designers create fast, predictable
designs with AT40K/AT40KAL and AT6000 Series FPGAs.
Available for use with Windows
®
98/2000, Windows NT
®
and Sun Solaris
™
/SunOS
UNIX Workstation-based computers, IDS combines industry-standard software for
design entry, synthesis and simulation with Atmel’s proprietary software
for component generation, automatic and interactive placement and routing, timing
analysis and bitstream generation.
The IDS Desktop is shown in Figure 1. The Design Flow Bar provides push-button
access to all the steps in the design flow. This includes opening schematic entry and
synthesis tools and generating files for simulations automatically.
Figure 2 shows the HDL Planner tool which is used for VHDL and Verilog Design
Entry. Figure 3 shows the Macro Generator used to generate standard components
with optimal layout and performance.
