XPE is a free, downloadable tool that enables engineers to quickly calculate power consumption projections based on their design’s parameters. It is available from the Power Central page on the Xilinx web site at www.xilinx.com/power
In this demonstration, we look at the steps required to create an accurate power estimate for Virtex-5 devices using the XPower Estimator (XPE) tool. We then demonstrate the low power consumption characteristics of Virtex-5 devices by taking actual measurements on an ML550 board, the preferred platform for making detailed power measurements. Finally, we compare our XPE results to the silicon measurements to determine the accuracy of our initial estimate. And we give you the tips and techniques you need to accurately estimate power for your own design. |

View this demo to see how ChipScope Pro tools can be used to shorten the debug and verification
phase of a Xilinx FPGA design. This demonstration will use ChipScope ILA and VIO cores to gain
on-chip visibly into a Xilinx Virtex FPGA design. See advanced capabilities and features that allow
the user to optimize on-chip resources. More integrated IP, high performance, and advanced interfaces
result in a more challenging debug and verification process. See how Xilinx's ChipScope Pro tools slash
debug and verification times, shortening the overall FPGA design time. |

ChipScope Pro, the real-time debug and verification tool for Xilinx FPGAs, enables on-chip debug
at or near operating system speed. The size, speed, and board requirements of today's
FPGAs make it nearly impossible to debug designs using traditional logic analysis
methods. Flip-chip and ball grid array packaging do not have exposed leads that can be physically
probed. Xilinx has the solution: ChipScope Pro. |

This 30 minute video demonstration gives an overview of the DSP design tools offered by Xilinx. We begin in AccelDSP™ with a floating-point MATLAB algorithm, and generate a VHDL or Verilog model along with a test bench.
Key steps reviewed are floating-to fixed-point conversion and design exploration which, through automation, result in an overall reduction in design cycle time. Also covered is System Generator for DSP™ which is based on Simulink. It contains a toolbox of about 100 IP blocks that can be used to build a system and then take that system through implementation into an FPGA. The video includes a demonstration of a 16 QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation) algorithm showing how part of the design can be done in AccelDSP and how that block can be incorporated in a larger System Generator design.
