Versal ACAP Simulation Challenges

The electronics industry is all about optimization, and always has been. For example, you might think of system on chip (SoC) as a relatively recent term, coined this century. However, many regard the silicon that appeared in digital watches in the 1970s as constituting a system on a chip, ...

Code Coverage in HDL Editor? Now That’s a Nice Feature.

For a long time I have been a fan of code coverage tools that are embedded into the simulators themselves, and which give you the ability to switch easily between the code and the coverage results. It is particularly helpful to have a way...

VHDL-2017: Some of My Favorite Things

For the past several years I have had the privilege to chair the IEEE 1076 VHDL working group. In March we handed off the revisions to the VHDL LRM to our technical editor to finalize the document for balloting. As we are waiting for the standards process to finish up, I thought I would share my favorite new additions. Let me start with an executive summary: ...

FPGA VHDL Verification
How can we do this faster and with better quality - at no extra cost?

This is actually possible – and with an average efficiency improvement of 20 to 50% for medium to high complexity FPGAs. Less for data path oriented designs and more for control or protocol oriented designs. At no extra cost....
