Oleda: Providing On-Line EDA Technology and Tools

$500 Productivity Tool for FPGA Designers

Oleda Technologies produces web-based design tools to aid with the planning, development, verification and documentation phases of your FPGA design. Check out how our tools can help you complete your FPGA design.

The Planning Phase

Picking the right FPGA for your application can be confusing. Collecting data and sorting through the different families, parts and packages takes time. Distilling the functional details from marketing hype frustrates all FPGA designers. Oleda's Migration Planner helps sort through the hype and let you choose a part with the confidence that you can migrate up or down in size while maintaining the same physical board footprint.

Read how Planning a Migration Path can help you maintain device flexibility during your product's entire lifecycle.

The Implementation Phase

Aggressive design schedules force you to begin your board design before the FPGA coding is done. The Oleda Symbol Generator lets you configure, create and customize your FPGA schematic symbols with the same UCF file you feed your P&R tools. In minutes, you can create custom symbols which are specific to your design. No more typos or omissions when copying data sheets, save hours of data re-entry and checking. Oleda generates symbols for both Orcad and Viewlogic design flows. Don't have a UCF file yet? You can still pick a part and generate generic symbols.

The Verification Phase

The Oleda Connections routine examines your boardlevel netlist for potential FPGA show stoppers. Using the same netlist that goes to layout, Oleda provides the extra level of confidence that your FPGA is on the board correctly. Ordinary schematic based DRC routines can't match the level of checking provided by Oleda:

Check VCCO and VREF connections based on your IO standards
Check Congifuration Modes and pins. Check JTAG pins.
Check for DCI resistors
Check bus indexing problems, signal no-connects, differential signal mis-matches

The Documentation Phase

Oleda believes that documentation is an on-going process that pays dividends through-out the lifetime of your FPGA design. As soon as you choose a part, we add links to the part datasheet and appnotes that maybe applicable to your design. We also generate:

A graphical representation of your pin assignments. You get a HTML-based, top view of your FPGA package. It is great for checking P&R results or clarifying design info for your PCB layout designer.
Or Get a sortable table of the pins on your FPGA design. Tables can easily be copy and pasted into word processors for your design documentation, or they can downloaded and saved as a stand-alone web page.

Oleda tools and services are focused on helping you complete your FPGA design quickly and correctly which saves you time and money. $500US buys you access to the website serving these tools for one year.
