Development Tools

We strive to provide the fastest time to market for your application with two different options for your Engineering design flow. On day one, using Open CoreFire™ or VHDL Board Support, you can show the board and interfaces work without any up-front engineering. This approach allows you to focus on your algorithm and not the low-level details of a complex FPGA-based board. Whichever option you choose, you can rest assured knowing that your application is built on a solid foundation of our 35+ years of FPGA knowledge and experience.

DEPLOYMENT EXAMPLE: Naval Research Laboratory Case Study

  • Open CoreFire

    The Open CoreFire™ Design Suite is a dataflow-based development system that brings new levels of ease and speed to FPGA programming on Annapolis Micro Systems high-performance motherboards, I/O cards, and mezzanine cards.

    Open CoreFire users have the capability to use FPGA IP from multiple sources, including High-Level Synthesis (HLS), other HDL, etc. It can also port IP to/from other hardware platforms. It uses standard Avalon and AXI IP interfaces. Open CoreFire also provides fast portability of applications between Intel and AMD-Xilinx and to newer FPGA families.

  • VHDL

    The VHDL Board Support is a complete design suite including all board level interfaces, simulation models and examples with host code. The examples show functionality of all board level interfaces out of the box.
