CAN IP Core Evaluation

AMD supports Full System Hardware Evaluation. The evaluation license key for this core will enable you to parameterize, generate and instantiate this IP in your design. It will also allow you to perform functional and timing simulation, generate a bitstream, and download and configure your design in hardware. The resulting IP will be fully functional in the FPGA for certain period of time, after which it will cease to function. To restore the evaluation core's operation in your design, simply reconfigure the FPGA with the bitstream.

Requirements

Please refer to the Requirements link on the product page for this core for details on System Requirements for the Vivado configurations of this core.

License Terms

Please note that the conditions of the CAN LogiCORE IP Evaluation License Agreement apply toward your evaluation of this core.

Accessing Evaluation Files

Simulation Only Evaluation

• Make sure you have satisfied the Software Requirements for this core.
• Follow the Installation Instructions in the Master Installation and Licensing Guide - Vivado to install the required Vivado software and IP Update.
• Follow the general instructions to access and evaluate the core.

Full System Hardware Evaluation

The procedures are the same as for the Simulation Only Evaluation, except that for the IP Catalog configuration of the core, you must additionally request and install a Full System Hardware Evaluation license key. This will allow you to generate a bitstream that you can use to program an AMD FPGA and evaluate the core in hardware for a limited amount of time.

1. Make sure you have satisfied the Software Requirements for this core.
2. For the IP Catalog configuration of the core, follow the Installation Instructions in the Installation and Licensing Guide - Vivado to install the required Vivado™ software and IP Update
   
   .Contact your local FAE to submit a request to evaluate this core. If you do not already have a local FAE, your local Sales Office can assign one to you. When your evaluation request is approved, follow the instructions from AMD Customer Service to generate a Full System Hardware Evaluation License key. Generate and install the key as directed by the instructions in the email you will receive.
   
   
3. Follow the general instructions below to load the IP Catalog customization GUI for this core and generate the core.
4. For some cores, an Example Design is written to your project directory by the IP Catalog when you generate the core. If an example design is provided, instructions will be documented in a Product Guide document.
5. To perform an in-depth evaluation in hardware in your own design:
   • Instantiate the core in your own design, place and route the design using Vivado, then generate a bitstream and use it to program an appropriate FPGA device.
