LogicLock Incremental Design LogicLock incremental design is a new design methodology available exclusively through the Quartus II software. In the LogicLock flow, design is done hierarchically. Each module is designed and implemented independently and imported into the top-level project.
Productivity is increased because optimization is done only once on each design module.
The performance of modules is preserved during integration. Figure 1 shows the mode selection options in the processing menu. The software mode allows SOPC designers to build software executables for the embedded processors in Excalibur devices. New toolbars and menus are available to control software build settings, as shown in Figure 2. NativeLink Integration with Major Design Tools Programmable logic designers typically use several EDA tools to perform various tasks, from design entry and synthesis to verification.
