With the increase in complexity of FPGA device capabilities and the associated designs targeting these FPGA devices, in-system debug can quickly become a bottleneck in the FPGA design cycle. This ...

There appears to be an unwritten law about the time spent in debug-it is a constant. It could be that all gains made by improvements in tools and methodologies are offset by increases in complexity, ...

The high level of features and integration available in today's FPGAs makes them attractive for implementing complex systems or subsystems. Reprogrammability encourages design teams to move more ...

Scandump is an advanced silicon debugging technique that ingeniously repurposes DFT (Design For Testability) scan chains for functional debugging. This method allows for the extraction of states from ...
