3.5 External Tools: Checking Xilinx ISE Designs in ALINT-PRO Some FPGA projects, especially in defense, are version-locked and must use older Xilinx chip families and use Xilinx ISE as the design environment. While ISE can provide limited verification capabilities, it requires long iterations of identifying an issue, then tracing that to a root cause, correcting the code and re-running the implementation phases again. Importing your Xilinx ISE designs into Aldec's ALINT-PRO would be particularly useful to prevent mistakes in early design stages.
