  1. Support for Aldec simulators is offered by Aldec.
  2. Most Vivado IP can only be synthesized by Vivado synthesis, because the RTL source can include encrypted files. To use this IP in a third-party synthesis flow, netlist can be exported from the Vivado tool in a suitable format for use in the third-party synthesis project.
  3. Contact Synopsys for availability of Synplify Overlay or Service Pack.
  4. Cadence Encounter Conformal Support is for RTL2Gate using Synopsys Synplify only.
