Quartus FPGA design software adds features

Quartus II PLD/FPGA design software version 11.1 provides expanded support for Altera’s 28-nm FPGAs, including Stratix V, Arria V, and Cyclone V, and added support for System Console system-level debug tool.

System Console raises the level of abstraction for debugging and works in tandem with low-level debug tools. The package also includes PCIe Gen3 support and bitstream-generation capability for DDR3/QDRII memories. (Free Web Edition; $2,995, complete subscription — available now.)
