Improving FPGA Prototyping with SystemVerilog
White Paper
ABSTRACT
As ASIC designs have grown larger at a much faster pace than FPGA devices, often multiple FPGA devices must be used to prototype a single ASIC. The obstacle of using multiple devices is the task of connecting all of the logical blocks of the ASIC design across multiple FPGA devices. However, methods for logically connecting the design blocks have proven to be manually intensive and error prone. With the introduction of SystemVerilog, an evolutionary RTL language, and advanced mixed language synthesis tools such as Mentor Graphics' Precision Synthesis, the procedure for connection has been simplified.
