What options SDSoC Voucher grant

[Pavel_47]

Hello,

Does SDSoC Voucher allow running all Vivado options including HDL synthesis form C code and DSP System generator ?

Thanks

Hi @Pavel_47,

In the end, Xilinx will be the authority on this as it is their software, but it is my understanding that the High Level Synthesis is included with (nearly) all versions of Vivado as per the features table on their website here; however the DSP System Generator as per that same table is only included with the Vivado System Edition. The SDSoC voucher will only get you access to Xilinx's SDSoC software; there is a thread with some more details on this here.

Thanks,
JColvin

Hi JColvin,

What an advantage to have this SDSoC voucher if Vivado HL WebPACK edition is free ?

Thanks.

Pavel.

Hi Jon,

Without voucher, but just with Vivado HL WebPACK (free) it's impossible to these things ?

Thanks

Hi @Pavel_47,

Here and here are xilinx forums and this xilinx blog that should hopefully help clear things up.  You need Vivado HLx  either way to generate a bitstream and work with Vivado SDK. Vivado HLS vs  SDSoC is more accurate of a description. The blog linked explains the differences.

thank you,

Jon
