Design Resources

Design Software	The MX family of FPGAs are fully supported by Microsemi Libero Integrated Design Environment (IDE), a design management environment that guides the user through the FPGA design flow and provides seamless design tool integration, as well as project, data file, and log file management. Libero IDE enables users to integrate both schematic and HDL synthesis into a single flow and verify the entire design in a single environment.
Programming & Debug	MX FPGAs are supported by Silicon Sculptor 3, a single-site programmer driven via a PC-based GUI, provides programming support. Silicon Explorer II is an integrated hardware and software solution that, in conjunction with the Designer tools, enables designers to examine any of the internal nodes of a device operating in a prototype or a production system.
IP Cores	Search for MX IP cores
Partners	Many of Microsemi’s Partners are engaged in development with MX devices
IBIS Models	Generic MX IBIS Models are available for signal integrity simulations. Design specific files can also be exported from your design implementation in Libero.
BSDL Models	Generic MX BSDL Models are available for boundary scan testing. Design specific files can also be exported from your design implementation in Libero.
