Scalable Prototyping System Accelerates Hardware and Software Development Many design and validation teams are increasingly using FPGA-based prototyping to meet time-to-market windows. Synopsys’ FPGA-based Prototyping Solution improves time-to-market and helps avoid costly device re-spins by enabling early embedded software development and allowing hardware and software co-design well ahead of chip fabrication. Together, our suite of tightly integrated and easy-to-use hardware plus software tools dramatically accelerate software development, hardware/software integration and system validation from individual IP blocks to processor subsystems to complete SoCs.
