FPGA based prototyping revisited - reducing time to prototyping

摘要

Chip developers are facing ever-increasing verification requirements driven by growing hardware and software complexity. Fast time to results is essential for them to ensure that projects can meet schedules. During the chip development flow, they demand to use the right tools for the right job at the right time, requiring a combination of formal, simulation, emulation, and FPGA prototyping as indicated in Figure 1.
