Abstract :
Logic simulation is not a satisfactory tool to verify a digital design as it offers no interaction with the complete system. A hardware prototyping board which can be programmed in minutes and can be plugged into a system immediately is described. The board contains four field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) equivalent to 16000 gates. Implementation is fully automated through a specially designed development system. Both the hardware board and the software can be reconfigured to use more FPGAs, offering a higher capacity prototyping system
