FPGA-based prototyping is the process of debugging, verifying, and validating part or all of a system on one or more adaptive SoCs or FPGAs. FPGA-assisted prototyping reduces time to market by enabling hardware and software co-validation before physical parts are available.
AMD delivers the industry’s largest capacity adaptive SoC and FPGA1 with improved I/O and transceiver latency to maximize system performance. The AMD Vivado™ ML design suite delivers a state-of-the-art development experience with new implementation features designed to improve compile time and QoR. The AMD Versal™ Premium VP1902 adaptive SoC is the first emulation-class device to feature a scalar processing subsystem on-chip, which enables a wide range of control and stimulus generation use modes for SW/HW firmware development and system bring-up.
AMD offers significant advantages for developing FPGA-based prototyping systems:
Breakthrough performance and integration for traditional and desktop prototyping can be realized with the AMD Versal™ Premium VP1902 adaptive SoC. The VP1902 device doubles device capacity2 compared to the Virtex™ UltraScale+™ VU19P device in order to fit larger IP and design subsystems. The on-chip A72 Arm® processor enables a wide variety of prototyping use cases for software and hardware co-development. Our XPIO and MIPI D-PHY enable a wide variety of at-speed peripheral stimulus. These silicon features combine to provide an ideal solution for tackling the prototyping demands of cutting-edge ASIC, IP, and SoC development.
