What do you use FPGA prototyping for? Typical usages of FPGA prototyping FPGA Prototyping is used for various purposes. Here are 2 of its main usages: FPGA Debug: at some point of the FPGA design cycle, tests have to be run with a 'real' FPGA board toRead more →
What are the key features of ideal ASIC prototypes? It seems that there has never been a better time to prototype IP, ASIC or SoC with FPGAs. With 35 to 40 billions transistors, the largest FPGA devices on the market can certainly hold quite some share ofRead more →
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 →
FPGA prototyping platform gets visibility with EXOSTIV This month, thanks to AVNET Israel, we received the ONIX platform for interoperability tests. The board that we received was the AVT-ONIX-VU440-1, equipped with 1 Xilinx Virtex Ultrascale XCVU440 device. The ONIX board system is designed by DgTronix in IsraelRead more →
The FPGA Prototyping problem we are trying to solve 'A la Carte Menu' or 'Full Course Dinner'? Today, choosing a FPGA-based prototyping platform for ASIC or SoC design reduces to 2 choices: - Either you buy or build a FPGA board and choose EDA tools separately; or:Read more →
Exostiv provides Gigabytes of visibility into the FPGA running at speed of operation from virtually any board. In this webinar, we'll introduce and demonstrate Exostiv and show how it can boost productivity when designing, debugging and verifying FPGA - and this, whether you use FPGA for ASICRead more →
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 →
Pick a FPGA board, please. Things to check before you use Exostiv... 'Using Exostiv requires having a board to which the Exostiv probe can be connected.' Of course. If you are considering using Exostiv, that's great, but you first need to check if the right kind ofRead more →
