System (IDS)
Description
Atmel’s Integrated Development System (IDS) lets designers create fast, predictable
designs with AT40K/AT40KAL and AT6000 Series FPGAs.
Available for use with Windows
®
98/2000, Windows NT
®
and Sun Solaris
™
/SunOS
UNIX Workstation-based computers, IDS combines industry-standard software for
design entry, synthesis and simulation with Atmel’s proprietary software
for component generation, automatic and interactive placement and routing, timing
analysis and bitstream generation.
The IDS Desktop is shown in Figure 1. The Design Flow Bar provides push-button
access to all the steps in the design flow. This includes opening schematic entry and
synthesis tools and generating files for simulations automatically.
Figure 2 shows the HDL Planner tool which is used for VHDL and Verilog Design
Entry. Figure 3 shows the Macro Generator used to generate standard components
with optimal layout and performance.

Ordering IDS and CAE Tools
When IDS is shipped, the CD contains library support and
interfaces to all the listed CAE tools, see on page 6.
A month evaluation copy of Exemplar LeonardoSpectrum
®
Synthesis tool is shipped on the CD.
For other CAE tools listed, the libraries and interface are
supplied on the IDS CD. For the vendor software and
licensing you should go directly to the third-party vendor.
Atmel does not supply these systems. Many of the listed
tools have evaluation copies available on their web sites.
System Requirements
PC-based Systems
For a single-user system, IDS requires a personal com-
puter with a 80486 or greater micro-processor equipped as
follows; or better.
• 3.5-inch 1.44 MB capacity high-density disk drive
(recommended)
• CD-ROM drive
• 200 MB minimum hard drive (both IDS and Viewlogic)
• 48 MB extended memory minimum (64 MB
recommended for larger designs using Timing and
Mapping)
• Serial interface port
• Parallel interface port
• MS-DOS, release 5.0
• Microsoft Windows 95/98/2000, NT 3.51, or NT 4.0 or
higher
• VGA graphics card and display monitor
• Windows compatible mouse
• A permanent swap space of 64 MB: refer to the Windows
documentation for details on its setup
• Sufficient disk space for file archival and management
Simulation Libraries
A month evaluation copy of ModelSim
®
Simulator is
shipped on the CD.
There are many other simulators available on the world-
wide web. The IDS CD does include fully verified Verilog
and VHDL VITAL
®
libraries. These can be compiled and
used with any other simulation tool that is Verilog or VHDL
compliant. IDS will export a Functional Netlist for pre-layout
simulation and a Post-layout Netlist and SDF files for Post-
layout Simulation.
The only difference with “Unsupported” tools is that there
are not tutorials for these tools, and they are not fully inte-
grated to IDS.
Annual Maintenance Agreements
Annual maintenance agreements are available for each
Package Option in the Integrated Development System
(IDS). The first year of maintenance is included in the pur-
chase price – renewal is optional. Maintenance
agreements give the users direct access to Atmel’s experi-
enced technical support staff and cover software upgrades
that keep engineers on the leading edge of Atmel’s design
tools.
Sun-based Systems
For a single-user system, IDS requires a Sun Sparcstation
®
workstation equipped as follows:
• CD-ROM drive (local or network)
• 200 MB (minimum) hard drive 50 MB hard disk space
allocated as swap space
• 64 MB RAM
• SUNOS 4.1.2/Solaris 2.4 or higher
• X11R4/Motif 1.1.4, X11R5/Motif 1.2, or
OpenWindows 3.x
