- Existing RPM packages were updated improve design experience in terms of development time and debugging. The key highlights of the major development items puts the quality barrier higher than the previous releases:
- Perl modules to extend vhdl and verilog support. These Perl modules together with gtkwave improves chip testing support.
- Perl parsers for VHDL, Verilog and SystemC.
- Introduced collaborative development solutions.
- Introduction of Verilog-AMS modeling into ngspice.
- Improved VHDL debugging support with gcov.
- Improved support for re-usable HDL packages as IP core.
- Improved PLI support on both iverilog and ghdl
- Introduction of C-based methodologies for HDL testbenches and models.
- Improved co-simulation based hardware design.
- Introduction of design tools for DSP design flow.
- Eclipse, the comprehensive Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for embedded systems is also part of the collection. This IDE is included for the first time on the Livedvd (but available since a long time on Fedora repositories) entails plugins for C++, Perl and Version Control systems (CVS,GIT,SVN).
