Design Environment for Lattice FPGA-based Processor System Design - Lattice Propel is a complete set of graphical and command-line tools to create, analyze, compile, and debug both the hardware design of an FPGA-based processor system, and the software design for that processor system.

Lattice Propel Builder - An easy to use system IP integration environment, Propel Builder provides tools to integrate processors and peripheral IP. The graphical integration environment features an easy-to-use, drag and drop correct-by-construction methodology. All commands are Tcl scriptable.

Lattice Propel SDK - A seamless software development environment, Propel SDK is a software development kit (SDK) with an integrated industry standard IDE and toolchain. The SDK features SW/HW debugging capabilities along with software libraries and board support packages (BSP) for Propel Builder defined systems.

Features

  • Drag and drop IP instantiation
  • Correct by construction design methodology
  • High productivity HW/SW debugging
  • Software libraries and BSP support
  • Tcl scripting commands
