Record FPGA data during 1 hour - really
Record FPGA data during 1 hour - really. As ASIC, SoC and FPGA engineers, we are used to watching the operation of our designs based on single limited snapshots. RTL simulations, for instance, provide bit-level details during execution times that span over a few (milli)seconds at best.Read more

Our waveform viewer is 10x faster

Our waveform viewer is 10x faster
Our new waveform viewer is 10x faster! I am happy to announce that Exostiv Dashboard 1.10.0 has been released this week. In addition to the usual maintenance on supporting new devices, new versions of FPGA tools, and a discreet yet fresh icon set update, this is theRead more

EXOSTIV lets you peer deeper into FPGA

EXOSTIV lets you peer deeper into FPGA
EXOSTIV lets you peer deeper into FPGA Watch now... EXOSTIV Introduction EXOSTIV's structure (see below) allows deeper data capture from inside FPGA: unlike JTAG instrumentation, EXOSTIV provides an external storage that extends beyond the memory available in the FPGA. Coupled with the usage of transceivers, it createsRead more

Record 8GB from a running FPGA – really
Record 8GB from a running FPGA - really. In this blog post, I demonstrate 2 different - and extreme? - capture scenarios made possible with EXOSTIV. In the 2 cases, I have used a VCU108 Virtex Ultrascale development kit from Xilinx. (see Xilinx'coverage of EXOSTIV in theRead more

Deep Trace & Bandwidth

Deep Trace & Bandwidth
Deep Trace & Bandwidth Exostiv provides the following maximum capabilities for capturing data from inside FPGA running at speed: Capabilities. 50 Gigabit per second bandwidth for collecting FPGA traces. 8 Gigabyte of memory for trace storage. 32,768 nodes probing simultaneously. 524,288 nodes reach. Actually, we have builtRead more

Debug with reduced footprint

Debug with reduced footprint
Debug with reduced footprint Footprint, 'real estate', resources, ... No matter the design complexity, allocating resources to debugging is something you'll worry about. If you are reading these lines, it is likely that you have some interest in running some of your system debugging from a realRead more
