‘My FPGA debug and verification flow should be improved…’
In my last post, I revealed some of the results of our recent survey on FPGA. These results depicted a ‘flow-conscious’ FPGA engineer, using a reduced mix of methodologies in the flow and very prone to going to the lab for debugging.
In the same survey, we tried to evaluate the level of satisfaction of the FPGA engineer for his/her debug and verification flow. We asked the respondents to select among several propositions the one that the most closely matched their thinking. See the picture below (click on picture to zoom).
More than 70% of the respondents recognize the need to improve the FPGA debug and verification flow.
The chart above represents the answers of the respondents active with an FPGA design, and actually using FPGA as a target technology. 72% of them recognize the need to improve the FPGA debug flow and nearly 40% of them are actively looking for a solution for it.
Are these survey results representative of the whole industry? Well, you tell me. Contact me to share your personal experience – and I’ll update this post.
– Oh, and by the way, as I write this, we are about to release our EXOSTIV solution. It improves the visibility on FPGA running at speed by a factor of up to 200.000 ! See below a preview of what we’re about to release. More information will be available soon.
Thank you for reading.
