4 Introduction
This manual is written to assist in the creation, implementation and testing of custom logic for
Innovative Integration products. The scope of this manual is limited to discussion of the logic
development tools, example logic designs and logic libraries provided in the Framework Logic
toolset.
Additional documentation on each product is provided for hardware features and software in other
manuals. These are used in conjunction with this manual for product development and use.
Thank you for using our products. Your comments and input are appreciated so that we can
improve our support and help you to be successful on your project. Email us at
techsprt@innovative-dsp.com with your input or give us a call.
4.1 Prerequisite Experience and Required Tools
The designer is expected to have experience in VHDL to use the Framework Logic tools and
code. All components in the Framework Logic are VHDL source code whenever provided and
supported by VHDL models and test code. As a standard, the code is written in VHDL 1993
version which is widely used and supported.
The design tools used are listed here. We make an effort to keep the logic supported under the
newest versions, but in many cases the logic must be reworked and retested to support the
newest tool version. For each product, we have listed the required tool set that was used to
create the logic.
Here is the tools set list we use for supporting the Framework Logic use and development.
Function Tool Vendor Tool Name
Synthesis, Place and Route Xilinx ISE 7.1 or above
Simulation Mentor Graphics ModelSim 6.1
Bit and PROM Image Creation Xilinx Impact 7.1
Signal Processing Design MathWorks MatLAB 7
Logic Design Under MATLab Xilinx System Generator 7.1
Logic Debug and Testing Xilinx ChipScope 7.1
Logic JTAG Cable Xilinx Parallel Cable IV or others
Table 2: Supported Logic Development Tools
The documentation for the development tools is provided by the tool vendor. All of them have on-
line documentation and help that can acquaint you with their use. This manual makes no attempt
to replace them, but rather supplement them with specifics on using them with Framework Logic
application development.
While it is not expected that you are expert in these tools, these tools are used for Framework
