Libero® SoC Design Suite Versions 11.9 and Earlier

Libero® SoC Design Suite offers high productivity with its comprehensive, easy-to-learn, easy-to-adopt development tools for designing with PolarFire® SoC, PolarFire, IGLOO® 2, SmartFusion® 2, RTG4™, SmartFusion, IGLOO, ProASIC® 3 and Fusion families of FPGAs. The suite integrates industry standard Synopsys Synplify Pro® synthesis and Siemens ModelSim® simulation with best-in-class constraints management, programming and debug tool capabilities and Secure Production Programming (SPP) support.

Libero SoC Design Suite version 11.9 and its service packs will continue to support IGLOO 2, SmartFusion 2, RTG4, SmartFusion, IGLOO, ProASIC 3 and Fusion families, as well as IGLOO 2, SmartFusion 2, and RTG4 (both classic and enhanced constraint flows). However, the Libero SoC Design Suite version 11.9 software branch is in maintenance mode and we will only make critical bug fixes going forward.

Starting with Libero SoC Design Suite version 12.0, we are supporting PolarFire SoC, PolarFire, RTG4, SmartFusion 2 and IGLOO 2 FPGA families. Libero SoC Design Suite supports enhanced constraints flow only and does not supportCclassic constraints flow. If you developed your designs using these FPGA families in Libero SoC Design Suite versions 11.9 SP2 or earlier and would like to migrate your designs to Libero SoC Design Suite version 12.0, please read the instructions given in the "Migrating Designs to Libero SoC v12.0" section in the Libero SoC Design Suite v12.0 release notes.

With an intuitive design flow and GUI wizards to guide you through the design process, Libero software is easy to learn. The software also offers single-click flow from synthesis to programming, a rich IP library of DirectCores and CompanionCores, complete reference designs and development kits. It also integrates easily with industry-standard third-party tools.
