Abstract :
In this paper, the authors present the programmable hardware for prototyping digital circuits. The environment consists of a PC and a programmable prototyping board composed of three FPGAs. One FPGA is used to implement the prototyping design, while the other two FPGAs are used to implement an interface between the prototyping design and the PC. The PC is used for designing a digital circuit, automatic generation of the interface logic, programming the FPGAs, and as a test engine for functional verification of the designed circuit
