The toolchain, or “flow” as the FPGA kids like to call it, consists of three parts: Project IceStorm, a low-level tool that can build the bitstreams that flip individual bits inside the FPGA ...

There’s some variation, but the basic flow in an FPGA build is to use a synthesizer to convert Verilog or VHDL to a physical design. Then a mapper maps that design to the physical elements ...

It's not easy to switch from an ASIC to an FPGA design flow, however. True, complex FPGA design shares some features with ASIC design, but under the hood, many of the steps are fundamentally different ...

You will cover a variety of topics, including Verilog, VHDL, and RTL design for FPGA and CPLD architectures; FPGA development tools flow; configurable embedded processors and embedded software; the ...

Though it is highly desired that all these requirements are automatically met by EDA tools in an automated flow, it is practically impossible. One of the main objectives of FPGA based system design ...

The following figure illustrates the FPGA prototype to structured ASIC methodology flow. Figure 3: FPGA Prototype to SA Production Since structured ASIC technology will be used for actual production ...

The assumption is that the required hardware, PCIe IP, and software are implemented and the FPGA synthesis and PNR (place and route) flow are also available. So, regarding the debugging aspect of ...

Lastly, design of a custom instruction in the Nios II is presented, showing the versatility of the soft processor in an FPGA. This module delves further into the development of soft processors, It ...
