چکیده

This paper presents a case study targeting the Aptix MP4 board and Xilinx VirtexE FPGAs, for digital TV application prototyping. The difficult FPGA prototyping issues typically encountered by engineers are illustrated on a big industrial example. Due to the increasing ASIC complexity, the basic challenge was to meet the project deadlines. To enable faster FPGA-based prototyping, both the ASIC design practices and the FPGA design tools should be adjusted. The study has led to a number of guidelines for design teams to make designs prototyping friendly and a number of points for the improvement of the FPGA tools.

Self authentication path insertion in FPGA-based design flow for tamper-resistant purpose

FPGA platforms have been widely used in many modern digital applications due to their low prototyping cost, short time-to-market and flexibility. Field-programmability of FPGA bitstream has made it as a flexible and easy-to-use platform. However, access to bitstream degraded the security of FPGA IPs because there is no efficient method to authenticate the originality of bitstream by the FPGA pr...

FPGA Prototyping and Design Evaluation of a NoC-Based MPSoC

Chip communication architectures become an important element that is critical to control when designing a complex MultiProcessor System-on-Chip (MPSoC). This led to the emergence of new interconnection architectures, like Network-on-Chip (NoC). NoCs have been proven to be a promising solution to the concerns of MPSoCs in terms of data parallelism. Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) has some ...
