The Unified environment of Altium Designer has besides the PCB solutions also an FPGA and Embedded solution. The combination of Altium Designer and NanoBoard has been called Innovation Station.

If you also take the CHC (C to Hardware) solution and the Tasking products into the Innovation Station concept, you will experience that the design process of FPGAs can be placed in a new context.

Using the CHC, embedded software developers can accelarate the programs that run on the FPGA signifcantly faster.

Altium Designer also contains a very well supported FPGA and PCB interface. You can make use of many FPGA models and an FPGA to PCB wizard. Now you can relatively easy map your FPGA pin configuration to the PCB footprints. The bi-directional interface also takes care about the process of pin swapping in PCB layout and feeding back these design changes simple and without errors to your FPGA design.

Altium has succeeded in bundling the design disciplines of Embedded, FPGA, PCB and 3D in one single design environment. This leads to an optimal collaboration between these traditionally separated worlds.
