FPGAs on Mars Tasked with finding life in the form of microorganisms, the rover Perseverance landed on Mars at about 04:00 EST on February 18, 2021. The rover has multiple sensors and cameras to collect as much data as possible and, due to the volume of live data being recorded and the long data transmission time from Mars to Earth, ...

Rather, they ask at which stage they should start using it. Contemporary System-on-Chip (SoC) designs are already sufficiently complex to make HDL simulation...

Try FSM Coverage A quick look into FSM Coverage The verification process is long and time consuming, especially when you are not sure what you are looking for. There are a lots of directions you can go looking for bugs but without a guide, without a plan you will most likely be going in circles....

Understandably, hardware designed for an aircraft, or indeed any safety critical application, must be robust. I also believe that all engineers wish to verify their designs as thoroughly as possible, anyway. However, there are limiting factors; most notably the high complexity of most designs. Since we are unable to discover and verify the design against all abnormal conditions, the main question is: when is robustness verification truly complete?...

So many exhibitors from around the world, including all main players from the commercial and military sides of the aerospace industry. Visitors could see everything required to build a modern aircraft; from small components like specialized ICs, cables and connectors up to big parts, such as the jet engines, landing gear assemblies and structural components....
