virtual prototype

How staging virtual prototype bring-up can accelerate the development of embedded software in complex systems.

How virtual hardware can speed up many aspects of automotive system development, including architectural analysis, software development and verification

Portable stimulus and formal verification provide the means to handle the challenge of verifying cache-coherent SoC interconnects.

Part three of our series looks at the choices you face as you decide whether to build or buy a board.

Part two of our series on FPGA-based prototyping looks at two critical factors to address before a project begins: budgeting and high-level implementation.

Embedded systems developers are turning to agile techniques and continuous integration. To make these processes possible, you need an environment that supports easy access to virtual prototypes throughout the life cycle.

This multi-part series addresses various aspects of FPGA-based prototyping. Future installments will address budgeting and implementation, but we start by looking at why the technique is generating so much interest.

The increasing complexity of automative software is challenging the ability of established software testing strategies to demonstrate its functional safety. Here's how virtual prototyping can help.

This article introduces hybrid emulation, a combination of emulation and virtual prototypes, and its application to tasks such as architecture validation, early software development and software-driven verification.

While some HW/SW co-design and verification techniques are in place, a power analysis methodology is only just emerging
