[Req] Vivado DS

ald_syn_cad

Can someone please tell what the real differences between PlanAhead and Vivado are?

They both have the same environment. Vivado has light features (support only newer version of FPGAs) and also has newer simulator.

I also could not find its HLS feature for importing C++ files. Can someone please explain?

Read this. It explains the differences.

I have downloaded 14.1 from below link:
http://bbs.eetop.cn/viewthread.p ... ghlight=ise%2B14.1. Maybe it's old but I checked its size. It's 5.93 Gig that is like the http://www.xilinx.com/support/download/index.htm

I have the same problem. I can not find out how to trigger HLS capability. Does anyone know the reason?

Thanks zaq.1. You are right, I have downloaded from http://bbs.eetop.cn/viewthread.p ... ighlight=ise%2B14.1
I checked the vivado's version. It's 2012.1. but the HLS feature and also visually IP Integrator are only available on 2012.2.

Download the below videos from youtube that describe HLS and IP integrators. They are wonderful.

我用了vivado，发现里面的器件不是很多，几乎都是最新的，开发相对来说旧一点的器件，得用ISE或PlanAhead
