10 things you should know before SoC Validation 1. Validation and verification are different things 2. Emulators do not replace prototypes (and the other way round) 3. There are silicon bugs left to be found during validation 4. Design size matters 5. Each FPGA size matters 6.Read more →
Delivering High Quality Semiconductor IP with confidence Because they are the essential building blocks of modern ASIC and SoC chips, semiconductor IPs are used in a wide variety of environments, in which they are in service during extended times. Verifying that they run flawlessly in all theseRead more →
Exostiv Blade - Managing multiple sites, targets & users In this video, we demonstrate that Exostiv Blade lets you manage multiple sites, target boards and users to reach your FPGA debug, verification and test goals. In a previous demonstration, we already showed that Exostiv Blade core capabilitiesRead more →
Is FPGA Prototyping really optional? We conducted a survey on LinkedIn 2 weeks ago about the usage of FPGA prototyping vs. Emulation vs. Simulation. By no means this survey is representative of the whole industry - the sample is simply too small and probably biaised, as theRead more →
Exostiv Blade is a Game Changer How it started Exostiv Blade all started from client requests in 2018-2019, especially from ASIC & SoC companies. They were seduced by the capture capabilities of Exostiv from FPGA running at speed - in some cases more powerful than the visibilityRead more →
Exostiv boosts RTL simulation It is essential to reduce the wasted machine cycles used for simulation workloads. Simulation dominates ASIC/SoC/FPGA verification process 'The 2020 Wilson Research Group ASIC and FPGA Functional Verification Study' reports that an ASIC, SoC or FPGA designer can spend up to 40% ofRead more →
Why we should scale FPGA tools - White Paper. In the 2020 edition of the Wilson Research Group Verification Survey [1], Siemens EDA, shows that a staggering 83% share of FPGA designs went to production with bugs in 2020. The results show that this share has remainedRead 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 →
At Accelerating the Future event you’ll connect with Xilinx experts, partners, and industry thought leaders to gain the insights and inspiration needed to tackle your next project. Knowledge acquired at Accelerating the Future event will help you bring your innovations to market faster, adapt to the rapidly

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 →
Does FPGA use define verification and debug? You may be aware that we have run a first survey on FPGA design, debug and verification during the last month. (By the way, many thanks to our respondents – we’ll announce the Amazon Gift Card winner in September). In
