General Description
Xilinx developed the System Advanced Configuration Envi-
ronment (System ACE) to address the need for a space-effi-
cient, pre-engineered, high-density configuration solution
for systems with multiple FPGAs. System ACE technology
is a ground-breaking in-system programmable configuration
solution that provides substantial savings in development
effort and cost per bit over traditional PROM and embedded
solutions for high-capacity FPGA systems.
The System ACE CF solution combines Xilinx expertise in
configuration control with industry expertise in commodity
memories.
As shown in Figure 1, the System ACE CompactFlash solu-
tion is a chipset, consisting of a controller device (System
ACE CF controller) and a commercially available Compact-
Flash storage device.
