Abstract :
A new expandable architecture for rapid prototyping of hardware systems is presented. The basic building block is a module with one FPGA and routing circuitry. The flexibility of the architecture permits the system to accommodate large ASIC designs. Digital or analogue cells and macrocells can also be included once the corresponding circuits are available as a packaged IC
