An Introduction to EDK Tools and Utilities
Table 1-1:
EDK Tools and Utilities (Continued)
Simulation Model Generator (Simgen)
Generates the hardware simulation model and the compilation
script file for simulating the complete system.
Simulation Library Compiler
(CompEDKLib)
Compiles the EDK Simulation Libraries for the target simulator, as
required, before starting behavioral simulation of the design.
Bus Functional Model Compiler (BFM)
Helps simplify the verification of a custom peripheral by creating a
model of the bus environment to use in place of the actual
embedded system.
Device Configuration
Bitstream Initializer (Bitinit)
Updates an FPGA configuration bitstream to initialize the on-chip
instruction memory with the software executable.
System ACE File Generator (GenACE)
Generates a Xilinx System ACE™ configuration file based on the
FPGA configuration bitstream and software executable to be stored
in a non-volatile device in a production system.
Flash Memory Programmer
Allows you to use your target processor to program on-board
Common Flash Interface (CFI)-compliant parallel flash devices
with software and data.
Miscellaneous
Format Revision (revup) Tool and Version
Management Wizard
Updates the design files (the MHS, for example) to their current
format. The Version Management Wizard helps migrate IPs and
drivers created with an earlier EDK release to the latest version.
LibXil Memory File System (LibXil MFS)
Creates an MFS memory image on a host system that can
subsequently be downloaded to the embedded system memory.
Platform Specification Utility
Automates the generation of Microprocessor Peripheral Definition
(MPD) data files required to create EDK-compliant custom
peripherals.
