SAN JOSE, Calif., June 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Xilinx, Inc.
(NASDAQ:XLNX) today announced the 2016.1 release of the SDSoC™
development environment, enabling software defined programming for
the Zynq family of SoCs and multi-processing (MP) SoCs using C and
C++ languages. The new release includes support for the recently
introduced 16nm Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoC. Additionally, this
release enables a significant leap in productivity through system
level profiling tools and by reducing the compilation time in
half.

"The SDSoC development environment has ramped quickly to over
650 users; many of them getting to market very quickly with
production Zynq SoC-based designs," said Nick Ni, senior manager of SDSoC product
marketing and planning at Xilinx. "In addition to Zynq Ultrascale+
MPSoC support, we have dramatically reduced compilation time, and
the time to eliminate system level performance bottlenecks."
Systems and embedded software engineers can leverage the SDSoC
development environment to easily program Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC
devices. At the click of a button, SDSoC automates the acceleration
of C/C++ functions from the ARM application processor unit into the
FPGA fabric by generating custom hardware IPs using High Level
Synthesis (HLS), hardware connectivity, software drivers and
application executable files.
Unlike traditional siloed embedded software and hardware
development flows that can result in development delays and
uncertainty in system architecture and performance, SDSoC is
architected to provide rapid system profiling and architecture
exploration, in a familiar Eclipse IDE framework. This release adds
real-time system-level visibility into performance bottleneck using
hardware and software event trace monitors.
