Synthesis and DO-254 Considerations

Details

Overview

This presentation provides a brief overview of DO-254 and then discusses FPGA synthesis challenges and solutions in the DO-254 environment.

DO-254 is a growing challenge in military and aerospace programs. Methodologies, tools, and flows for processes such as FPGA synthesis must take DO-254 requirements into consideration.

What You Will Learn

  • Overview of DO-254
  • Issues and Concerns with Synthesis in a DO-254 Program
  • Features of Precision that Assist with DO-254 Needs
