Qsys Enhancements-This release adds expanded support for third-party simulation tools and also includes preliminary support for the ARM AMBA AXI™ protocol.Transceiver Toolkit-Quartus II software version 11.1 supports the on-chip EyeQ signal quality monitoring feature in Stratix V FPGA transceivers, enabling users to analyze the post-equalized transceiver eye and achieve optimal signal quality and lower BER.Customers can view on-line demonstrations of System Console at Additional Features Within Quartus II Software Version 11.1 Include: This tool-which is designed for simulation, lab testing and deployment phases of a design-requires minimal resources and reduces the number of hardware compilation steps, improving designer productivity. Based on TCL, designers using System Console can quickly build verification scripts or custom graphical user interfaces in an advanced programming environment, enabling sophisticated instrumentation and verification solutions for Qsys systems. System Console allows designers to analyze and interpret data and monitor the performance of a system under real-world conditions.
The configurable and interactive System Console tool included with the Quartus II software version 11.1 satisfies a wide range of system debug needs. This release also provides additional support for Altera’s high-end 28-nm Stratix V FPGAs, including PCI Express ® PCIe ® Gen3 support and bitstream generation capability for DDR3/QDRII memories. Cyclone V FPGAs provide the lowest power and lowest system cost in a 28-nm FPGA. Arria V FPGAs deliver a balance of power, performance and system cost for midrange applications. Quartus II software version 11.1 features compilation support for Arria V FPGAs and Cyclone V FPGAs. “This new version of the Quartus II software allows customers to quickly design, verify and debug their 28-nm designs using the latest in system-level design tools.”
“Support for Arria V and Cyclone V FPGAs allows designers to meet performance requirements and achieve the lowest power in the industry at 28 nm, while lowering system cost in a wide range of applications,” said Alex Grbic, Altera’s director of software, DSP and IP marketing. System Console raises the level of abstraction for debugging and works in tandem with low-level debug tools, such as Altera’s SignalTap™ II embedded logic analyzer, to significantly reduce verification time. Quartus II software version 11.1 also includes added support for Altera’s system-level debug tool, System Console. This latest software release features expanded support for Altera’s 28-nm FPGAs, including compilation support for Arria ®V and Cyclone ®V FPGAs and enhanced support for Stratix ® V FPGAs. San Jose, Calif., November 7, 2011- Altera Corporation (Nasdaq: ALTR) today announced the release of its Quartus ® II software version 11.1, the industry’s number one design software in performance and productivity for CPLD, FPGA and HardCopy ® ASIC designs.
