Libero SoC is a Windows software for creating FPGA layouts. It is possible to simulate real world conditions to detect structural and behavioral inefficiencies. The Secure Production Programming Solution module prevents you from overbuilding and cloning.

Design flow

Users can utilize included instruments to generate comprehensive FPGA designs. It is possible to develop low-power SoC chips as well. There are graphical configurators for developing various peripherals, applications and embedded solutions.

Like MPLAB, this program allows you to place new components into the workspace and configure connections between them. Tools for optimizing the power consumption, improving the performance and minimizing the physical size of the chip are available. Moreover, you can add and edit custom restrictions through the Constraints Manager.

Debugging process

There are flexible options for locating and fixing hardware errors or inefficiencies without the help of an integrated logic analyzer. The SmartDebug module utilizes specialized probe points built into the FPGA chip. This method does not require recompiling the code every time and saves a significant amount of time.
