The challenge of system verification

FONT SIZE : AAA

This chapter will establish some definitions and outline the challenges we are trying to overcome with FPGA-based prototyping. We will explore the complexity of SoCbased systems and the challenges in their verification. We will also compare and contrast FPGA-based prototyping with other prototyping methods including systemlevel virtual modeling. After this chapter we will be ready to dive deeper into the ways that FPGA-based Prototyping has benefited some real projects and give some guidance on what is possible with FPGA-based prototyping technology.
