TODAY'S ISSUE: System Design and Rapid Prototyping: New Release of Training
Materials and Upgraded Kit Release
<<<<>>>>
CMC is releasing a workbook detailing a design flow from a high-level design
entry tool (SDS from Mentor Graphics) through synthesis with Synopsys' FPGA
Compiler, and implementation on CMC's Rapid Prototyping Board. It also
contains a sample user directory with the appropriate scripts and data files.
The material was developed by CMC for two workshops on System Design and Rapid
Prototyping, held in Toronto and Calgary, during May 1996. Information on
obtaining the material is included in the Microelectronics Technology Bulletin
below.
An upgraded version (V1.1) of CMC`s Rapid Prototyping Board Kit is also being
released, as described below.
