Hello,
Sorry for asking so many questions about the HDL Coder and Verifier recently it is just that I have never started a project like this before, and I am trying to create a list of everything I need.
Background: I am testing FPGA portability between two different FPGAs; the Spartan 6 and Arria II Gx.
I have a list of questions.
1) What is the difference between the Xilinx Spartan 6 DSP Development Kit from Simulink and the Xilinx Spartan 6 DSP Development Kit from Avnet? Both provide the same FPGA, so do I still need the one from Avnet?
2) The product that used the FPGA used Synopsis as its synthesis tool. Do I need Synopsis to use the HDL Coder?
3) The HDL Verifier needs a simulator, but it also has FPGA hardware-in-the-loop. With that being said, can I use Simulink as the simulator?
4) Can I used the same FPGA 'board' to interface the FPGA to the computer?
Some of these questions I have asked already, but I just need to clarify some things and put all my questions together.
Thanks, Natalie
