Software Debug Gets Tricky

By Ann Mutschler - 11 Jul, 2013 - Comments: 0

By Ann Steffora Mutschler As designs continue to grow in size and complexity, that complexity has led to an increasing number of processing cores. Additional cores, in turn, allow for additional software to be run on those cores, and debugging the software becomes critical. Traditionally, emulation has played a significant role in verifying that software against RTL code, and continues to d... » read more

Prototyping Now A ‘Must Have’

By Ed Sperling - 29 Nov, 2012 - Comments: 0

By Ann Steffora Mutschler No longer a ‘nice to have,’ FPGA-based prototyping is now indispensible for SoC and ASIC development. Semiconductor companies are investing in the infrastructure, the EDA tool chain, the human resources and everything needed to set up an entire department to focus on prototyping, emulation and validation. “We are seeing these customers invest in significant a... » read more

By Frank Schirrmeister Last weekend I spent time with my 7 ½-year-old daughter (the ½ is crucially important at that age) on our tree house project. Well, it is more a tree “deck” so far, which is quite respectable though given that we just started building it in one weekend (as the book I quickly downloaded that evening on the iPad actually recommended). A project like this gives endles... » read more
