Xilinx is creating an environment where employees, customers, and
partners feel welcome and included. To that end, we’re removing non-
inclusive language from our products and related collateral. We’ve
launched an internal initiative to remove language that could exclude
people or reinforce historical biases, including terms embedded in our
software and IPs. You may still find examples of non-inclusive
language in our older products as we work to make these changes and
align with evolving industry standards. Follow this
