Modern FPGA and SoC FPGA designs push the limits of complexity, performance, and reliability. Undetected RTL coding issues can silently propagate through synthesis and implementation, leading to costly rework, schedule delays, or unexpected failures during hardware bring-up. Identifying these problems early is critical to achieving predictable and reliable FPGA designs.

Advanced RTL linting provides a powerful static analysis approach tailored specifically for FPGA development. By applying hundreds of FPGA-relevant design rules — including vendor-specific synthesizability checks, Clock Domain Crossing (CDC) verification, and reset network integrity analysis—linting exposes bugs, inefficiencies, and design mismatches long before simulation or lab validation.

In this tech talk, we will demonstrate how advanced linting and CDC analysis directly improve FPGA design robustness and development efficiency. Through practical examples, you’ll see how early RTL analysis helps improve code quality, supports design reuse, reduces iteration cycles, and prevents late-stage surprises during synthesis and place-and-route — ultimately accelerating time-to-market while boosting design confidence.
