Licensing the Core

This chapter provides instructions for obtaining a license key for the Ethernet AVB Endpoint core, which you must do before using the core in your designs. The Ethernet AVB Endpoint core is provided under the terms of the Xilinx Core Site License Agreement.

Before you Begin

This chapter assumes that you have installed the required Xilinx® ISE® Design Suite version following the instructions provided by the Xilinx ISE Installation, Licensing and Release Notes Guide, www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/dt_ise.htm. Detailed software requirements can be found on the product web page for this core, www.xilinx.com/products/ipcenter/DO-DI-EAVB-EPT.htm.

License Options

The Ethernet AVB Endpoint core provides three licensing options. After installing the required ISE Design Suite version, choose a license option.

Simulation Only

The Simulation Only Evaluation license key is provided with the ISE CORE Generator tool. This key lets you assess core functionality with either the example design provided with the Ethernet AVB Endpoint core, or alongside your own design and allows you to demonstrate 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 key 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 back-annotated gate-level simulation of the core using the 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.
