In Xilinx's case, the toolchain is huge because it isn't just bitstream synthesis; it also includes: * Simulation and verification tools * Licensed IP cores for a bunch of common tasks * Toolchains for at least three different platforms (ARM, Microblaze, PowerPC) * 32-bit and 64-bit versions of everything * A JRE Bottom line is, there's legitimately a ton of stuff in there. |
