Create an application, integrate the application into your system for use with hardware, and deploy the application to an FPGA all within a single development environment.
The FPGA design flow consists of four phases:
-
Floating-Point Design and Testing—Create an application design using floating-point numbers and test the behavior of your design without actually compiling or deploying.
-
Floating-Point to Fixed-Point Conversion—Convert the floating-point data types in your design to fixed-point for use on an FPGA.
-
System Integration and Testing—Create, test, and implement the components you need to complete your system before you deploy.
-
Application Deployment and Debugging—Compile, debug, and deploy your application to hardware.
