About HDL Designer Series (HDS). HDL Designer Series products cover aspects of the design entry and management process: HDL Pilot for design management; HDL Detective for design analysis; HDL Author for text and graphical editing and documentation; and HDL Designer for complete point tool functionality in a single solution, the company said.
The suite combines technologies of the Mentor Graphics Renoir HDL graphical entry tool with technology acquired from Escalade.
HDL Pilot provides a common cockpit from which all design data can be managed, making it easy to transfer design data within a common reuse environment, the company said. Its interface allows designers to navigate through and manage project data generated in complex Verilog, VHDL, and mixed-language designs processes.
HDL Detective simplifies documentation creation and maintenance at every step of the FPGA, ASIC, and SOC design cycle, featuring a push-button process for reusing legacy or commercial IP designs. Designers can use HDL Detective to visualize the current state of a design and generate documentation for newly developed HDL. This process translates HDL to diagrammatic representations.
HDL Author allows design teams to create complex systems. To accommodate the fullest range of design preferences, HDL Author is available in three flavors for designers using pure HDL source code, graphical representations, or a combination of both.
HDL Author Text features Interface Based Design (IBD') to solve the interconnect creation problem, the company said. IBD is a patent-pending concept in text-based entry that simplifies interconnect creation problems by displaying design interconnect structures in an easy-to-view and compact tabular format. This tabular editing environment allows designers to capture a given level of hierarchy piece by piece, simplifying the creation and documentation process.
HDL Designer is a complete entry and management solution that includes all the point tools of the HDL Designer Series, the ocompany said. It allows companies to standardize on a toolset that can be used to share designs across multiple locations, improving and enhancing communication, design reuse and documentation company-wide, according to the company.
