Verification Futures with Bronco AI Agents for DV Debug
Verification has become the dominant bottleneck in modern chip design. As much as 70% of the overall design cycle is now spent on verification, a figure driven upward by increasing design complexity, compressed schedules, and a chronic shortage of design verification (DV) engineering bandwidth. Modern chips generate thousands… Read More
There is more to prototyping than just FPGA: See how S2C accelerates SoC Bring-Up with high productivity toolchain?
System-on-Chip designs continue to grow in scale and interface diversity, placing greater demands on prototype capacity, interconnect planning, and bring-up efficiency. These challenges arise not only in large multi-FPGA programs but also in smaller designs implemented on a single device or a small FPGA cluster. In all cases,… Read More
