FPGA-Go-ASIC™ prototyping platform is design for customers’ quick software and system verification. It is integrated abundant silicon-proven IP, such as ARM CPU Sub-system, PCIe, LVDS, DDR PHY and MIPI D-PHY. System designers can port their designs or connect the platform with their original designs via PCIe interface for whole system verification easily. To shorten time-to-market, customers may either apply the platforms to verify their designs or simply leave verification to Faraday.

Advantages of FPGA-Go-ASIC Prototyping Platform

• A real silicon CPU hardcore and high performance
  Instead of an external CPU or a softcore, FPGA-Go-ASIC Prototyping Platform provides a real hardened ARM Cortax-A core and a real ARM bus architecture environment to verify SoC architecture. The CPU and ARM Bus help designers speed verification schedule and get accurate SoC performance.

• Rich silicon-proven IP
  Faraday FPGA-Go-ASIC Prototyping Platform integrates those silicon-proven IP that are frequently used in FPGA devices, such as 16G SerDes, PCIe PHY, DDR3/4, LPDDR3/4, and LVDS. It can reduce risk of porting mixed-signal IP in FPGA-to-ASIC design projects.

• Complete ported software design Kit
  FPGA-Go-ASIC Prototyping Platform supports complete software design kit and is ported a Linux OS with drivers. System designers can run their software in the development environment before their SoC/ASIC is completed. Hardware and software co-design is feasible.
