Today it is not unusual for FPGA users to have to deal with more than one language in their designs. At earlier stages of the design development it may be necessary to interface HDL simulation with ...

With the increasing size and complexity of FPGA devices, there is a need for more efficient verification methods. Timing simulation can be the most revealing verification method; however, it is often ...

Over the last year we’ve had several posts about the Lattice Semiconductor iCEstick which is shown below. The board looks like an overgrown USB stick with no case, but it is really an FPGA development ...

HDL Coder generates target independent, synthesizable Verilog and VHDL code from MATLAB functions, Simulink models, and Stateflow charts. The generated HDL code is bit-true and cycle-accurate to ...

As contributors and pioneers in the digital revolution, we are often so busy creating and innovating that we are compelled to focus on the trees, never mind the forest. But as we are all aware, the ...

The folks at Lattice Semiconductor and Aldec have announced a new OEM agreement that will deliver the only OEM FPGA mixed language simulator. Active-HDL Lattice Edition will be bundled with Lattice's ...

Programming an FPGA with Verilog looks a lot like programming. But it isn’t, at least not in the traditional sense. There have been several systems that aim to take C code and convert it into a ...
