- Open-source set of eFPGA user tools supported by a
thriving development community
- Now supports all major Hardware Description Languages
(HDL), including Verilog, System Verilog, and VHDL
SAN
JOSE, Calif., Feb. 7, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- QuickLogic Corporation
(NASDAQ: QUIK) has released a new version
of its Aurora eFPGA development tool suite. The
Aurora 2.1 Development Tool Suite is based on a fully
open-source implementation for scalability, longevity, and full
code transparency. It supports all major HDLs
including Verilog, System Verilog,
and VHDL.
About the Aurora 2.1 Development Tool Suite
The new version is based on open-source synthesis (Yosys),
Versatile Place and Route (VPR), and bitstream generation
(OpenFPGA) software. The fully integrated suite of tools enables
FPGA designers to go from RTL-to-bitstream for QuickLogic's eFPGA
IP. The Aurora eFPGA user tools also support an architecture
analysis mode, enabling users to tune the architecture for their
application instead of being forced into a ridged fixed-size tile
approach.
Key Benefits
- Enables Architectural Trade-Offs – Ensures that the generated
eFPGA IP has the optimal amount of logic (LUTs), BRAM, and DSP
blocks to meet each customer's unique eFPGA requirements.
- More Transparency – Because Aurora is based on open source, the
code is highly inspectable, enabling continuous improvement by the
development community.
- Flexibility – Publicly auditable code leads to higher quality
software and allows for the merit-based addition of features by the
community, as well as the option to make enhancements that suit
each customer's needs.
- Future-Proof – Aurora uses readily available open-source
components that the broader community is actively improving upon.
With access to source code, the user has ultimate control of the
future.
"QuickLogic remains committed to open source, and our new Aurora
2.1 Development Tool Suite underscores that mission," said
Mao Wang, senior director of product
development at QuickLogic Corporation. "Now, SoC developers can
combine the advantages of open-source tools with the dramatic
flexibility benefits of embedding FPGA technology into their
devices to improve device lifecycles and enhance
profitability."
