Accelerating FPGA-Based SoC Prototyping
FPGA-based prototyping offers advantages such as high-speed operation, real-world environment testing, and parallel execution that cannot be matched by software simulations alone. It enables developers to validate their designs and initiate software development long before the final silicon is ready. At the same time,… Read More
Evolution of Prototyping in EDA
As AI and 5G technologies burgeon, the rise of interconnected devices is reshaping everyday life and driving innovation across industries. This rapid evolution accelerates the transformation of the chip industry, placing higher demands on SoC design. Moore’s Law indicates that while chip sizes shrink, the number of… Read More
Reduce Risk, Ensure Compliance: Hardware-Assisted Verification for Design Certification
Prologue
Peter was running late for two reasons. First, he encountered unexpected heavy traffic and arrived ten minutes late for a crucial meeting with a customer to run a compliance test of his new 6G phone design prototyped on FPGAs. This prototype’s success was pivotal, as it could secure a significant purchase order.… Read More
Elevating Your SoC for Reconfigurable Computing – EFLX® eFPGA and InferX™ DSP and AI
Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have long been celebrated for their unmatched flexibility and programmability compared to Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). And the introduction of Embedded FPGAs (eFPGAs) took these advantages to new heights. eFPGAs offer on-the-fly reconfiguration capabilities,… Read More
