Licensing the Core

This chapter provides instructions for obtaining a license for the CAN core, which you must do before using the core in your designs. The CAN core is provided under the terms of the Xilinx LogiCORE Site License Agreement, which conforms to the terms of the SignOnce IP License standard defined by the Common License Consortium. Purchase of the core entitles you to technical support and access to updates for one year.

Before you Begin

This chapter assumes that you have installed all required software specified on the CAN product page.

License Options

The CAN core provides three licensing options. After installing the required Xilinx ISE® software and IP Service Packs, choose a license option.

Simulation Only

The Simulation Only Evaluation license key is provided with the Xilinx CORE Generator™ tool. This key lets you assess core functionality with either the example design provided with the CAN core, or alongside your own design and demonstrates the various interfaces to the core in simulation. (Functional simulation is supported by a dynamically generated HDL structural model.)

Full System Hardware Evaluation

The Full System Hardware Evaluation license is available at no cost and lets you fully integrate the core into an FPGA design, place-and-route the design, evaluate timing, and perform functional simulation of the CAN core using the example design and demonstration test bench provided with the core.

In addition, the license key lets you generate a bitstream from the placed and routed design, which can then be downloaded to a supported device and tested in hardware. The core can be tested in the target device for a limited time before timing out (ceasing to function), at which time it can be reactivated by reconfiguring the device.

Cannot use this in production programs.
