(VLX-S500/VLX-S250)

Overview

The VeriLite^® is SMIMS^® entry level FPGA development platform stemming from higher end VeriEnterprise. The VeriLite with SMIMS powerful Software -- VeriComm, VeriInstrument and software developer’s kit (SDK), offers an incredible performance and improvement in time-to-market.

Users can import the input signals easily from PC into the user-designed circuit on the FPGA of VeriLite and export the output signals to PC for observation. Almost all PC peripheral devices become user-designed circuit’s I/Os and no real hardwired I/O device is needed for early-stage verification. With the help of USB 2.0 transmission, VeriLite can be an intuitive and easy to use environment provides to access the functionality of HDL simulation acceleration, IP verification and HW/SW co-verification. The overall solutions allow users to quickly develop a hardware-software co-design/co-verification environment.

The SMIMS SDK including C/C++ development API (SDK) provides users with the resources to develop software programs for the interfacing control between the user-designed circuit (on the FPGA of SMIMS platform) and the software I/O application programs (on the PC).

SMIMS Verilink^® for Matlab^® (optional) brings the FPGA hardware platform to the heart of the acclaimed Matlab^® technical environment.
