With ever-shrinking time-to-market windows for multimedia applications, design tools and pre-designed IP blocks can be important elements for quickening the design process. The right development platform can help designers in the balancing act between the contradictory requirements of having a standard but still highly configurable solution.

Combining Xilinx FPGAs with the Xylon logicBRICKS IP cores library, the logiCRAFT 3 compact multimedia display development platform lets you quickly turn system designs running on this generic FPGA development platform into specialized products.

This design approach enables a large portion of design reuse through different hardware (IP cores) and software modules. You can reuse these same modules in many system designs for different applications.
