System Builder

The generation of a specific SoC hardware setup is simplified by a Java application called JConfig. This application allows the user to specify the SoC via graphical user interface and generate an HDL design. SpartanMC peripherals are included in JConfig via XML discription files. The result of this generation process is a HDL top-level-design file which carries out the instantiation of all components and a set of C header files which allows the user to access all components through symbolic constants.

The development of JConfig 3 is in progress. Currently the a version of JConfig 2 is included in the SpartanMC SoC-Kit.
