ATLANTiS Framework

Overview

Integrated System Framework Implemented in Altera FPGAs.

Features

Allows developers to focus on custom processing development instead of reinventing low-level IP.

• Promotes design and hardware re-use,
• which reduces development costs and integration effort.
• Follows System on a Chip software methodology, which raises the FPGA abstraction level.
• Allows for improved design validation and exploration.
• Reconfigurable HDL components and supporting software development libraries.
• Supports flexible, static, and run-time reconfiguration.
• Low-level physical interfaces and timing constraints.
• Standard component structure.
• Uses common open standard streaming and memory mapped interconnect fabrics.
• Allows straight-forward integration of third-party components.
• Designs are portable to different Altera FPGAs and BittWare boards.
• Standardized simulation and test resources.
• Simulation and synthesis scripts to generate projects and I/O configuration.
• Works with proven, validated COTS boards. Example and template projects.
• Supporting software libraries.

Specifications

BittWare's ATLANTiS™ FrameWork (AFW) is the next generation of ATLANTiS, taking the power of ATLANTiS to an entirely new level.

While FPGAs provide significant performance benefits, the FPGA development process can be both time-consuming and difficult. AFW addresses these limitations by providing infrastructure that supports FPGA development at a higher abstraction level. AFW is the integration of validated HDL components, productivity enhancement resources, and software libraries to aid customers in developing FPGA-based applications using BittWare's boards.

Using these valuable resources, AFW customers can move quickly and confidently from design to deployment. (bulleted list) AFW raises the FPGA abstraction level. Follows a System On a Chip software. Methodology - Don't have to start from scratch. Existing streaming and memory mapped interconnect fabrics. Provides low-level physical interfaces and timing constraints. Pre-existing projects and I/O configuration. AFW promotes design portability and FPGA code re-use. Avalon common interface components are reusable and portable. Standard component structure. Reconfigurable HDL components and supporting software development libraries. Straight-forward integration of third-party components. Works with proven, validated COTS boards. AFW allows for improved design exploration and validation. Provides standardized simulation and test resources. Supports flexible, static and run-time reconfiguration.
