All for One, One for All: A Tale of Hardware SoC Verification
SoC design teams are tasked with completing full system-level verification before the creation of expensive production masks. To accomplish this task requires the teams to thoroughly vet all hardware blocks, all interactions between those blocks, and the purpose-built software created for the end application before the chip is even built. While hardware emulators and desktop FPGA prototype boards are two well-known participants in this verification, enterprise FPGA prototype platforms are now taking their place alongside them as the third participant. While simulation dominates in the early s...
