San Jose, CA – June 6, 2016 - S2C Inc., a worldwide leader of FPGA-based prototyping solutions for today’s innovative designs, announced today that its Prodigy™ Player Pro 6.3 Runtime and Compile Software allows for more advanced usage of FPGA prototyping with leading-edge partition and multiple FPGA debug capabilities for both Xilinx and Altera FPGA devices.
"We have been working closely with our customers to develop functionality that can truly help drive more efficient FPGA prototyping,” said Toshio Nakama, CEO of S2C, Inc. “As a result, we are able to introduce technology in our next generation Prodigy Player Pro that will significantly ease the pain associated with partitioning and debug. These latest additions continue to reinforce the value that a complete prototyping platform delivers."
Although FPGA capacity has increased dramatically, today's complex designs still require quite a bit of partitioning that can be painful and arduous. S2C's latest edition of Prodigy Player Pro contains significant advances in multi-board partitioning capabilities to ease the burden. New features for compiling the design include:
New features for controlling and monitoring the design include:
Identifying and correcting complex and deeply embedded bugs can be a daunting task as these types of bugs are typically only caught after millions of cycles. Simulation is much too slow. Traditional FPGA debug tools don't work either as debug is only done one FPGA at a time with limited trace depth using internal memory. Not only does this manual process become arduous, but also introduces the possibility of even more errors occurring as rectifying one error may cause another error to occur in a different FPGA but not be identified until much later. This process can potentially get stuck as an endless loop. S2C’s Prodigy Player Pro is tightly integrated with S2C’s soon-to-be-released Prodigy Multi-Debug Module that allows for simultaneous debugging of multiple FPGA boards that will significantly reduce error prone issues that arise with manual single FPGA debug methods as well as drastically speed up FPGA prototyping debug. The Prodigy Multi-Debug Module is currently in beta and will officially be released this summer.
S2C will be demoing both its Prodigy Player Pro 6.3 and its beta version of the Prodigy Multi-Debug Module at this year’s Design Automation Conference booth #1928 in Austin, TX from June 6-8.
