One of the more interesting markets that I cover is FPGA Prototyping. Interesting because it is fast growing ($150-250M) and interesting because it is all about design starts and design starts are the lifeblood of the semiconductor industry.

If you are interested in FPGA prototyping you might want to start with the 30+ S2C Inc blogs… Read More

Enhancing FPGA Prototype Debug

Enhancing FPGA Prototype Debug
by Daniel Nenni on 12-06-2017 at 7:00 am
Categories: Prototyping, S2C EDA

FPGA prototyping is very popular in modeling hardware for early system prove-out, early embedded software development, as a cost-effective and performance-effective platform for software-driven hardware debug and for late-stage software debug, all before silicon is available. It has significant advantages in run-time… Read More

Blurring Boundaries

Blurring Boundaries

Categories: Cadence, EDA, Prototyping

I think most of us have come to terms with the need for multiple verification platforms, from virtual prototyping, through static and formal verification, to simulation, emulation and FPGA-based prototyping. The verification problem space is simply too big, in size certainly but also in dynamic range, to be effectively addressed… Read More

Partitioning for Prototypes

Partitioning for Prototypes
by Bernard Murphy on 09-19-2017 at 7:00 am
Categories: Aldec, EDA, FPGA, Prototyping

I earlier wrote a piece to make you aware of a webinar to be hosted by Aldec on some of their capabilities for partitioning large designs for prototyping. That webinar has now been broadcast and I have provided a link to the recorded version at the end of this piece. The webinar gets into the details of how exactly you would use the software… Read More

Webinar: Aiding ASIC Design Partitioning for multi-FPGA Prototyping

Webinar: Aiding ASIC Design Partitioning for multi-FPGA Prototyping
by Bernard Murphy on 09-07-2017 at 4:00 pm
Categories: Aldec, EDA, FPGA, Prototyping

The advantages of prototyping a hardware design on a FPGA platform are widely recognized, for software development, debug and regression in particular while the ultimate ASIC hardware is still in development. And if your design will fit into a single FPGA, this is not an especially challenging task (as long as you know your way … Read More

A Delicate Choice – Emulation versus Prototyping

A Delicate Choice – Emulation versus Prototyping
by Bernard Murphy on 09-07-2017 at 7:00 am
Categories: Prototyping, S2C EDA

Hardware-assisted verification has been with us (commercially) for around 20 years and at this point is clearly mainstream. But during this evolution it split into at least two forms (emulation and prototyping), robbing us of a simple choice – to hardware-assist or not to hardware-assist (that is the question). Which in turn … Read More

A Self-Contained Software-Driven Prototype

A Self-Contained Software-Driven Prototype

Categories: Aldec, Automotive, EDA, Prototyping, Xilinx

You’re building an IP, subsystem or SoC and you want to use a prototype together with a software testbench to drive extensive validation testing. I’m not talking here about the software running on the IP/SoC processor(s); the testbench should wrap around the whole DUT. This is a very common requirement. The standard approach to… Read More

Prototype-Based Debug for Cloud Design

Prototype-Based Debug for Cloud Design
by Bernard Murphy on 03-14-2017 at 7:00 am
Categories: Prototyping, S2C EDA

Unless you’ve been in hibernation for a while, you probably know that a lot more chip design is happening in system companies these days. This isn’t just for science experiments; many of these designs are already being used in high-value applications. This development is captive – systems companies generally don’t want… Read More
