The Proc Dev Kit is Gidel’s powerful and innovative suite for accelerating development on Gidel’s FPGA acceleration boards, as well as on Gidel’s advanced frame grabbers and image processing platforms.
Designed as a unique market solution, the Proc Dev Kit streamlines and simplifies the FPGA design process by enabling developers, FPGA engineers, and software teams to generate a tailored Application Support Package (ASP). This package seamlessly integrates application-specific FPGA development resources with complementary software drivers, creating a complete and cohesive development environment.
This unique approach empowers developers to implement complex features and protocols on Gidel’s FPGA platforms with confidence and efficiency—whether they’re working on AI acceleration, real-time image processing, high-speed acquisition, or custom FPGA applications. By bridging the gap between FPGA design and software application integration, the Proc Dev Kit ensures a faster time-to-market and significantly reduces development risk.
With the Proc Dev Kit, users can quickly generate an entire design envelope customized to their application’s requirements, including all necessary IP cores, interfaces, constraints, and drivers. This dramatically reduces the overhead typically associated with building and integrating the design environment from scratch, freeing development teams to focus on their proprietary logic and application-specific features.
The Proc Dev Kit’s unique features include:
- Graphic development of FPGA design tree and automatic generation of HDL files including constraints files (timing and pin assignments) and project files.
- Automatic integration of Gidel’s IPs, including the Gidel’s MultiPort DRAM controller, MegaFIFO and MegaDelay IPs
- Automatic generation of the software driver for C++ application control of FPGA design
- Virtualization of FPGA resources enabling multi-application to access the FPGA concurrently and synchronously
- Automatic software detection of FPGA design and resources enabling multi-application to decide on-the-fly on utilization of libs and resources.
