The DSDB is compatible with Xilinx’s new high-performance Vivado Design Suite as well as
the ISE/EDK toolset. These toolsets meld FPGA logic design with embedded ARM software
development into an easy to use, intuitive design flow. They can be used for designing systems
of any complexity, from a complete operating system running multiple server applications in
tandem, down to a simple bare-metal program that controls some LEDs.
