Advances in EDA design methodologies led by next-generation FPGAs
As FPGA vendors strive to make their devices more SoC- and ASIC-like, they are collaborating with EDA companies to more seamlessly integrate their tools. This produces great benefits for designers as FPGA design methodologies are leading the way to new capabilities in areas such as Electronic System Level (ESL) synthesis, IP integration and re-use, and higher-level tools for software/hardware co-design.

Model-Based Design assists DSP designers with FPGA integration
Model-Based Design enables engineers to quickly implement and verify their algorithms on FPGAs in a workflow that can be used by engineers with or without FPGA design experience. This method also allows for easier refinements for shorter design iterations and higher levels of abstraction to facilitate the next generation of embedded FPGA devices.
