Functional Description
Warp Enterprise™ is an integration of the Warp Professional™ CPLD Development package with additional sophisticated EDA software features from Aldec. In addition to
accepting IEEE 1076/1164 VHDL text and graphical finite state
machines for design entry, Warp Enterprise VHDL provides a
graphical HDL block diagram editor with a library of graphical
HDL blocks pre-optimized for Cypress devices. Plus, it
provides a utility to convert HDL text into graphical HDL blocks.
Warp Enterprise synthesizes and optimizes the entered
design, and outputs a JEDEC or Intel® hex file for the desired
PLD or CPLD (see Figure 1). For simulation, Warp Enterprise
provides a timing simulator, a source-level behavioral
simulator, as well as VHDL and Verilog timing models for use
with third party simulators. Warp Enterprise also provides the
designer with important productivity tools such as a testbench
generation wizard and the Architecture Explorer graphical
analysis tool.

The VHDL language also allows users to define their own
functions. User-defined functions allow users to extend the
capabilities of the language and build reusable files of tested
routines. VHDL provides control over the timing of events or
processes. It has constructs that identify processes as either
sequential, concurrent, or a combination of both. This feature
is essential when describing the interaction of complex state
machines.
COMPILATION
VHDL is a rich programming language. Its flexibility reflects the
nature of modern digital systems and allows designers to
create accurate models of digital designs. Because it is not a
verbose language it is easy to learn and compile. In addition,
models created in VHDL can readily be transported to other
EDA Environments. Warp Enterprise VHDL supports IEEE
1076/1164 VHDL including loops, for/generate statements,
full hierarchical designs with packages, enumerated types,
and integers.

VHDL Compiler
VHDL is a powerful, industry-standard language for behavioral
design entry and simulation, and is supported by all major
vendors of EDA tools. It allows designers to learn a single
language that is useful for all facets of the design process.
VHDL offers designers the ability to describe designs at many
different levels. At the highest level, designs can be entered
as a description of their behavior. This behavioral description
is not tied to any specific target device. As a result, simulation
can be done very early in the design to verify correct functionality, which significantly speeds the design process.
The Warp syntax for VHDL includes support for intermediate
level entry modes such as state tables and Boolean entry. At
the lowest level, designs can be described using gate-level
descriptions. Warp Enterprise gives the designer the flexibility
to intermix all of these entry modes.
In addition, VHDL allows you to design hierarchically, building
up entities in terms of other entities. This feature allows you to
work either “top-down” (designing the highest levels of the
system and its interfaces first, then progressing to greater and
greater detail) or “bottom-up” (designing elementary building
blocks of the system, then combining these to build larger and
larger parts) with equal ease.
Because this language is an IEEE standard, multiple vendors
offer tools for design entry and simulation at both high and low
levels and synthesis of designs to different silicon targets. The
use of device-independent behavioral design entry gives
users the freedom to easily migrate to high volume technologies. The wide availability of VHDL tools provides complete
vendor independence as well. Designers can begin their
project using Warp Enterprise for Cypress CPLDs and
convert to high-volume ASICs using the same VHDL behavioral description with industry-standard synthesis tools.
Document #: 38-03050 Rev. *C
Warp Enterprise descriptions specify:
• The behavior or structure of a design.
• The mapping of signals in a design to the pins of
a PLD/CPLD (optional).
The part of a Warp Enterprise description that specifies the
behavior or structure of the design is called an entity/architecture pair. Entity/architecture pairs, as their name implies,
are divided into two parts: an entity declaration, which
declares the design’s interface signals (i.e., defines what
external signals the design has, and what their directions
and types are), and a design architecture, which describes
the design’s behavior or structure.
The entity portion of a design file is a declaration of what a
design presents to the outside world (the interface). For each
external signal, the entity declaration specifies a signal name,
a direction and a data type. In addition, the entity declaration
specifies a name by which the entity can be referenced in a
design architecture. This section shows code segments from
five sample design files. The top portion of each example
features the entity declaration.
Behavioral Description
The architecture portion of a design file specifies the function
of the design. As shown in Figure 1, multiple design-entry
methods are supported in Warp Enterprise. A behavioral
description in VHDL often includes well known constructs
such as If...Then...Else, and Case statements. Here is a
code segment from a simple state machine design (soda
vending machine) that uses behavioral VHDL to implement
the design:
LIBRARY ieee;
USE ieee.std_logic_1164.all;
ENTITY drink IS
PORT (nickel,dime,quarter,clock:#in
std_logic;
returnDime,returnNickel,giveDrink:out
std_logic);
END drink;
Page 2 of 7
CY3130
ARCHITECTURE fsm OF drink IS
TYPE drinkState IS (zero,five,ten,fifteen,
twenty,twentyfive,owedime);
SIGNAL drinkstatus:drinkState;
BEGIN
PROCESS BEGIN
WAIT UNTIL clock = ’1’;
giveDrink <= ’0’;
returnDime <= ’0’;
returnNickel <= ’0’;
CASE drinkStatus IS
WHEN zero =>
IF (nickel = ’1’) THEN
drinkStatus <= five;
ELSIF (dime = ’1’) THEN
drinkStatus <= Ten;
ELSIF (quarter = ’1’) THEN
drinkStatus <= twentyfive;
END IF;
WHEN five =>
IF (nickel = ’1’) THEN
drinkStatus <= ten;
ELSIF (dime = ’1’) THEN
drinkStatus <= fifteen;
ELSIF (quarter = ’1’) THEN
giveDrink <= ’1’;
drinkStatus <= zero
END IF;
-- Several states are omitted in this
-- example. The omitted states are ten,
-- fifteen, twenty, and twentyfive.
WHEN owedime =>
returnDime <= ’1’;
drinkStatus <= zero;
when others =>
-- This makes sure that the state
-- machine resets itself if
-- it somehow gets into an undefined state.
drinkStatus <= zero;
END CASE;
END PROCESS;
END FSM;
VHDL is a strongly typed language. It comes with several
predefined operators, such as + and /= (add, not-equal-to).
VHDL offers the capability of defining multiple meanings for
operators (such as +), which results in simplification of the
code written. For example, the following code segment shows
that “count <= count +1” can be written such that count is a
std_logic_vector, and 1 is an integer.
LIBRARY ieee;
USE ieee.std_logic_1164.all;
USE work.std_arith.all;
Document #: 38-03050 Rev. *C
ENTITY sequence IS
port (clk: in std_logic;
s : inout std_logic);
end sequence;
ARCHITECTURE fsm OF sequence IS
SIGNAL count: std_logic_vector(3 downto 0);
BEGIN
PROCESS BEGIN
WAIT UNTIL clk = ’1’;
CASE count IS
WHEN x“0” | x“1” | x“2” | x“3” =>
s <= ’1’;
count <= count + 1;
WHEN x“4” | x“5” | x“6” | x“7” =>
s <= ’0’;
count <= count + 1;
WHEN x“8” | x“9” =>
s <= ’1’;
count <= count + 1;
WHEN others =>
s <= ’0’;
count <= (others => ’0’);
END CASE;
END PROCESS;
END FSM;
In this example, the + operator is overloaded to accept both
integer and std_logic arguments. Warp Enterprise supports
overloading operators.
Functions
A major advantage of VHDL is the ability to implement
functions. The support of functions allows designs to be
reused by simply specifying a function and passing the appropriate parameters. Warp Enterprise features some built-in
functions such as the truth-table function (ttf). The ttf is
particularly useful for state machine or look-up table
designs. The following code describes a seven-segment
display decoder implemented with the ttf:
LIBRARY ieee;
USE ieee.std_logic_1164.all;
USE work.table_std.all;
ENTITY seg7 IS
PORT(
inputs: IN STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (0 to 3)
outputs: OUT STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (0 to 6)
);
END SEG7;

A third design-entry method available to Warp Enterprise users

Structural VHDL
While all of the design methodologies described thus far are
high-level entry methods, structural VHDL provides a method
for designing at a very low level. In structural descriptions, the
designer simply lists the components that make up the design
and specifies how the components are wired together.
Figure 3 displays the schematic of a simple three-bit shift
register and the following code shows how this design can be
described in Warp Enterprise using structural VHDL:
LIBRARY ieee;
USE ieee.std_logic_1164.all;
USE work.rtlpkg.all;
Document #: 38-03050 Rev. *C
All of the design-entry methods described can be mixed as
desired. VHDL has the ability to combine both high- and
low-level entry methods in a single file. The flexibility and
power of VHDL allows users of Warp Enterprise to describe
designs using whatever method is appropriate for their
particular design.
Finite State Machine Editor
Aldec’s Active-HDL FSM finite state machine editor, allows
graphic design entry through the use of graphical state
diagrams. A design may be represented graphically using
state diagrams and data flow logic. This tool will automatically
generate the HDL code of the design.
HDL Block Diagram Editor
The HDL block diagram editor lets you represent portions of
your code with graphical symbols. This representation allows
you to view the high-level structure of your complex designs
and lets you copy and paste entire modules of your design
within or between designs. The editor comes with a library of
HDL blocks optimized for Cypress devices. Warp Enterprise
comes with a utility that converts HDL text into these blocks.
Language Assistant
The language assistant is a library of language templates that
you can browse and automatically insert into your HDL text.
They provide syntax and structure and give examples to aid
users who are new using a particular HDL.

Flow Manager
Timing Simulation
The flow manager is a special interface that helps you keep
track of your complex projects. It arranges the tools as part of
the logical flow the designer takes through a project and
remembers what steps have been completed on which
designs.
The Aldec Active-HDL Sim post-fitting timing simulator
provides timing simulation for PLDs/CPLDs and features interactive waveform viewing as well as graphical creation and
editing of all waveforms. The simulator also provides the ability
to probe internal nodes, and automatically generate clocks
and pulses. The version in Warp Enterprise has the ability to
compare waveforms and highlight differences before and after
a design change. Warp Enterprise has unlimited simulation
time. To use the timing simulator in Warp Enterprise VHDL you
must use a VHDL netlist.
Source-Level Simulation
Warp Enterprise’s source-level behavioral simulator helps you
catch problems with your code early in the design process by
letting you simulate a design before synthesis. The tool lets
you graphically watch inputs and outputs, gives you timing
information and allows you to step through your code line by
line.
Compilation
Once the VHDL description of the design is complete, it is
compiled using Warp Enterprise. Although implementation is
with a single command, compilation is actually a multistep
process, as shown in Figure 1.
The first part of the compilation process is the same for all
devices. The input description is synthesized to a logical representation of the design. Warp synthesis is unique in that the
input languages support device-independent design
descriptions. Competing programmable logic compilers
require very specific and device-dependent information in the
design description. Warp synthesis is based on UltraGen
technology that allows Warp Enterprise to infer adders,
subtractors, multipliers, comparators, counters and shifters
from the behavioral descriptions. Warp Enterprise then
replaces these operators internally with an architecturespecific circuit. This circuit or “module” is also pre-optimized
for either area or speed. Warp Enterprise uses the appropriate
implementation based on user directives.
The second step of compilation is an iterative process of
optimizing the design and fitting the logic into the targeted
device. Logical optimization in Warp Enterprise is accomplished using Espresso algorithms. The optimized design is
automatically fed to the Warp Enterprise fitter for targeting a
PLD or CPLD. This fitter supports the automatic or manual
placement of pin assignments as well as automatic selection
of D or T flip-flops. After optimization and fitting, Warp Enterprise creates a JEDEC or Intel hex file for the specified PLD
or CPLD.
Automatic Error Tracking
Warp Enterprise features automatic error location that allows
problems to be diagnosed and corrected in seconds. Errors
from compilation are displayed immediately in a window. If the
user highlights a particular error, Warp Enterprise will automatically open the source code file and highlight the offending line
in the entered design. If the device fitting process includes
errors, a window will again describe them. A detailed report file
is generated indicating the resources required to fit the input
design and any problems that occurred in the process.
Document #: 38-03050 Rev. *C
Warp Enterprise VHDL will also output standard VHDL timing
models. These models can be used with all third-party
simulators to perform functional and timing verifications of the
synthesized design.
Architecture Explorer
The Architecture Explorer graphically displays how the design
will be implemented on the chip. It provides a view of the entire
device to show what memory elements and logic clusters have
been used for what part of the design. This gives the designer
an idea of what resources are free. The Architecture Explorer
allows you to zoom in multiple times. At maximum zoom it
displays the logic gate implementation in each macrocell. The
Architecture Explorer is available for PSI and Delta39K
devices.
Timing Analyzer
The Timing Analyzer gives the time across any path as well as
the breakdown of what steps are causing the timing delays.
This tool does not simply display the general specification for
the target device but a worst-case simulation of the actual path
being taken through the device. When you highlight a path on
the timing analyzer, the source and destination of that path are
displayed on the Architecture Explorer. The timing analyzer
graphical interface is available for PSI and Delta39K devices.
Programming
Cypress’s FLASH370i, Ultra37000, and Delta39K In-System
Reprogrammable™ (ISR™) devices can be programmed on
board with an ISR programmer. For PSI and Delta39K
devices, Warp Enterprise produces an Intel hex file. The ISR
programmer converts this file into STAPL and programs the
device. For Ultra37000 and FLASH370i devices, Warp Enterprise produces a JEDEC file. For Ultra37000, the ISR
programmer converts this file into JAM/STAPL and programs
the device. For FLASH370i, the JEDEC file is used directly to
program the device.
Warp Enterprise comes with an C3ISR Programming Cable
and a Delta39K\Ultra37000 prototype board with a CY37256V
160-pin TQFP device and a CY39100V 208-pin device.
The JEDEC and Intel hex files produced by Warp Enterprise
can also be used with any qualified third party programmer to
program Cypress CPLDs.
For more information on Cypress’s ISR software, see the ISR
Programming Kit (CY3900i) data sheet.
