Veloce proFPGA supports firmware/software development with a flexible FPGA prototyping system [whitepaper]
During a system-on-chip (SoC) design, the hardware team uses several different proxies to represent the circuitry at different stages of development. Early on, they rely on simulation with its near-total visibility and control for unit development. Later, many teams move the register transfer level (RTL) to a hardware emulation platform for intellectual property (IP) integration and functional testing. The most advanced emulation systems, such as the Siemens Veloce™ hardware-assisted verification platform, can support powerful system analysis tools at this stage as well. But what about the needs of the software team?
