Simplifying Embedded
Hardware and Software
Development with Targeted
Reference Designs
By: Navanee Sundaramoorthy
FPGAs are becoming the platform of choice for a
growing number of hardware and software
designers developing embedded processing
applications for the industrial, medical,
communications, aerospace, and defense markets.
The combined value of design flexibility to support
changing standards, reduced cost due to better
system integration, and parallel processing
performance has steadily fueled this trend of
implementing complete systems on FPGAs.
In an effort to substantially simplify and accelerate
the means by which both embedded software and
hardware designers gain access to these benefits,
Xilinx has developed fully-functional, tested, and
supported targeted reference designs for both the
Spartan®-6 and Virtex®-6 FPGAs.
