Emulator Environment Based on an FPGA Prototyping Board

چکیده
In this paper, we describe an emulator environment based on an FPGA prototyping board. This emulator environment is for functional verification of a multi-media processor we are currently developing and for software development and debugging of its application programs. For these purposes, the emulator environment includes a debugging network and provides virtual wires and some utilities, board control functions, and a virtual FPGA board. With this environment, we verifies the functionality of a multi-media processor and implements its cycle level simulator

متن کاملAchieving High-Latency, Low-Bandwidth Communication: Logic Emulation Interfaces
There is a large amount of interest in using multi-FPGA systems for logic emulation and rapid-prototyping of digital systems. One difficulty with this approach is the handling of the external interfaces of the system. In this paper we describe a generic interface transducer, a board capable of handling the external interfaces of the system under prototype, allowing the emulation to operate in t...
