S2C Prototyping Software Prodigy Player Pro

Prodigy Player Pro

Prodigy Player Pro is a rapid prototyping software that works with the FPGA-based prototyping platforms from S2C. Prodigy Player Pro plays three roles in speeding your development process - it configures the prototype, runs remote system management and provides set up for multi FPGA debugging.

Prodigy Player Pro Solutions

Faster auto partition engine supporting billion gate designs

Enhanced pin-multiplexing macro increases system performance up to 50%

Flexible pin-multiplexing ratios across multiple clock domains

Up to 70% time saving via optimized black-box flow

Fully automate and increase productivity with TCL scripting

Features & Benefits of Prodigy Player Pro

Compile Time

An integrated GUI environment and Tcl interface makes it easy to take an existing design, compile it, partition it into multi-FPGAs, and generate the individual bit files.

Automated Compile Flow

Prodigy Player Pro - Compile time has an intuitive GUI environment to guide all compile steps. After a design is compiled once, you can perform an ECO flow automatically in Tcl mode:

Import design

Set up probes

Run synthesis

Partition design

Assign & I/Os

Run FPGA place and route

Generate bit file(s)

I/O Assignment

Prodigy Player Pro - CompileTime provides a library of S2C daughter board pin-map files, and automatically matches them to I/O connectors. GUI-based clock and I/O properties assignment minimizes chance of error.

Partition

Automatic and guided partitioning to multiple boards

- User-guided performance optimization

- User configurable cable connection setup

Black-box approach to save partitioning time

Enhanced system performance by TDM optimization

Pre-qualification of signals before automatic pin-multiplexing insertion

Timing estimation to quickly understand the performance before place and route

System timing report to guide the optimization

Multi-FPGA Prototyping Software——Never enough of a good thing

A new release of Prodigy PlayerPro™ software (PPro-7) signals S2C's resolute focus on advancing multi FPGA prototyping, including enhancements to its PPro-RT7 (RunTime), PPro-CT7 (CompileTime), and PPro-DT7 (DebugTime) software.

What are the advantages of the new Player Pro-7 software:

S2C's new Player Pro-7 software release delivers high performance and faster time-to-implementation with RTL partitioning, enhanced timing analyzer, and SerDes-based TDM. The newly added RTL partitioning and module replication enable parallel design synthesis and accelerate the compile flow. Enhanced timing analysis offers more accurate performance estimates at the system level while SerDes-based TDM insertion adds higher bandwidth and more flexibility to the interlinking multiple FPGAs.

What are the pertinent challenges to the implementation of multi-FPGA prototypes?
