While FPGAs provide significant performance benefits, the FPGA development process can be both time-consuming and difficult. AFW addresses these limitations by providing the entire standard infrastructure that supports FPGA development at a higher abstraction level.
AFW is the integration of validated HDL components, productivity enhancement resources, and software libraries to aid customers in developing FPGA-based applications using BittWare's boards.
Using these valuable resources, AFW customers can move quickly and confidently from design to deployment.
