The Convergence of Emulation and Prototyping

During the development of a system on chip (SoC), hardware emulation and FPGA prototyping play distinct and essential roles.   ● Emulation is used to verify that a design meets its functional requirements, where the verification is performed by emulating the hardware and simulating (using a testbench) the environment in which it must perform....

Linting RISC-V designs with ALINT-PRO

As the open-source RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA) continues to gain momentum, the growing number of RISC-V design solutions, and their flexibility, creates a problem when choosing the most reliable and robust solution from a number of contenders....

Connecting Emulated Design to External PCI Express Device

These days verification teams no longer question whether hardware assisted verification should be used in their projects. 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...

When is robustness verification for DO-254 projects complete?

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?...

No Risk No Fun

At the end of February, I attended the Aero Show in India - and what a show it was. 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....
