In-Circuit Verification and Validation of FPGA Systems
Overview:
The phenomenal growth in design size and complexity continues to make the process of FPGA design verification a critical bottleneck for today's FPGA systems. Limited access to internal signals, advanced FPGA packages, and printed circuit board (PCB) electrical noise are all contributing factors in making design debug and verification the most difficult process of the design cycle. You can easily spend more than 50% of your design cycle time debugging and verifying your design.

The proper choice of an in-circuit debug methodology (embedded logic analyzer vs. external logic analyzer) will reduce your debug time while the wrong approach can significantly extend you debug time. This seminar will examine how to select the proper methodology based on your design constraints.

We will also examine some newer methodologies to the external logic analyzer approach that can further reduce your debug by allowing you to quickly change your FPGA probe points without the need to recompile your design.

Who Should Attend: FPGA Designers and Board designers

Presenter:

Mike Juliana
Mike Juliana has been with Tektronix since 1988 in a variety of engineering and management roles. He has a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from Brigham Young University and a master's degree in Computer Engineering from Oregon State University. His 10 years of design experience (embedded systems, FPGAs, and ASICs) helps him in his current role of assisting hardware and software engineers understand how logic analyzers can help them speed through their debug and verification tasks. When at home (and not on an airplane), he often finds himself backpacking in the beautiful Oregon mountains or skiing with his children.
