Latest IDE is company's highest performing tool suite to date

14 July 2004 Design Automation

Actel has introduced what it calls its most flexible and comprehensive tool suite to date, the Libero integrated design environment (IDE) version 6.0. This is a streamlined IDE that integrates the industry's foremost third-party design tools and delivers high flexibility and efficiency for today's complex, time-sensitive FPGA designs. All editions of Libero 6.0, including the free silver edition, now include Synplify Actel Edition (AE) software, Synplicity's industry-leading synthesis tool specially optimised for Actel's flash- and antifuse-based FPGAs.

Also, for the first time, Actel says that Libero customers may purchase Synplicity's high-end synthesis tool, Synplify Pro AE, directly from Actel at a significant cost saving. In addition, users can access a full version of Magma Design Automation's PALACE (physical and logical automatic compilation engine) physical synthesis tool directly from the Libero 6.0 interface. The design environment also boasts new ease-of-use improvements and additional updates.

Libero 6.0 IDE is available in three editions: platinum, gold and silver: Libero Platinum is a complete solution with unlimited design capacity and customer support; for designs of 300 k gates or less, Actel offers its Libero Gold edition; and the Libero Silver edition may be used free of charge via Actel's website.
