At the beginning of a project, fundamental decisions are made about chip topology, performance, power consumption and on-chip communication structures. Some of these are best performed using algorithmic or system-level modeling tools but some extra experiments could also be performed using FPGAs. Is this really FPGA-based prototyping? We are using FPGAs to prototype an idea but it is different to using algorithmic or mathematical tools because we need some RTL, perhaps generated by those high-level tools. Once in FPGA, however, early information can be gathered to help drive the optimization of the algorithm and the eventual SoC architecture. The extra benefit that FPGA-based prototypes bring to this stage of a project is that more accurate models can be used which can run fast enough to interact with real-time inputs.
Experimental prototypes of this kind are not the main subject of this book but are worth mentioning as they are another way to use FPGA-based prototyping hardware and tools in between full SoC projects, hence deriving further return on our investment.
