AITIA's IP Core licenses

Our IP core binaries are proven to be compatible with Virtex-6 and Virtex-7 FPGA architectures, but we can provide you wrappers and compatible binaries for other suitable Xilinx FPGAs if needed.

Core license types:
The conditions below apply to the 100 Gb/s and 40 Gb/s PCS/PMA and MAC cores.

  • Free license: simulation only version of the IP core, also with limited packet processing capabilities. Download
    Contact us for an implementable version of the free core.
  • Academic license: Only available for Universities and academic researchers. Simulation and binary instantiation of the core is allowed. No functional limitations.
    List price: 350 EUR
    Please contact us for full license including source codes.
  • Commercial base-license: You are allowed to simulate, instantiate and use the core in any project you like. No functional limitations.
    List price: 1000 EUR
  • Commercial full-license: Besides the features of the base-license, you get the full source code for the IP core along with use case samples, and implementation examples for the C-GEP platform.
    List price: 5000 EUR
  • Extended support: We provide consultation and extended support for your development and specific applications.

License type Contains Limitation
Free license Simulation model, and testbenches First 10000 frames are processed, marker is speed up for faster simulation
Base/Academic-license IP core in binary form (NGC), testbenches, and instantiaton examples for Virtex-6(7) devices No limitations, but source code not available
Full-featured license Source code for all modules, testbenches, and instantiaton examples for Virtex-6(7) devices, and C-GEP devices No limitations, full source is available. You are allowed to use, and modify the core as you like.
