Field programmable gate array (FPGA) evaluating method

Abstract

The invention relates to a field programmable gate array (FPGA) evaluating method which includes: performing requirement verification on FPGA codes according to an assignment book supplied by a developer; performing checking on codes of FPGA configuration items; performing code rule checking on the FPGA configuration items; performing simulation and verification on the FPGA configuration items; performing time sequence analyzing on an FPGA; and submitting the problems emerging in the processes to an FPGA developer to enable the developer to perform code improvement on the FPGA. Before the FPGA evaluating method is provided, only a designer and a verifier exist in development of the FPGA, and no independent evaluating third party exists. Along with increasingly wide application of the FPGA in the high-grade field and particularly application in the field of aerospace science and technology and precision guided munition, reliability and availability of the FPGA are improved to a very important position by users, and a method for comprehensively evaluating the function of the FPGA is in urgent need. The FPGA evaluating method provides a just and fair FPGA evaluating platform for users from a third party angle and is innovate in the field of FPGA development.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to evaluation of field programmable logic chips, in particular to evaluation of codes of field programmable logic chips. Background technique [0002] Chips are mainly divided into two categories: Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC for short) and Field-Programmable Gate Arra (FPGA for short). ASIC is a chip that has been designed and manufactured and cannot be changed; while FPGA is a chip that can change the design circuit. Compared with ASIC chip design, FPGA has its obvious characteristics, and its product advantages are mainly reflected in the following aspects: [0003] No design and processing fees - costs associated with ASIC design and processing; [0004] No need for special production - use off-the-shelf products in the market to shorten the design cycle [0005] Change flexibility - field reprogrammability. [0006] And ASIC chip design has its corresponding product advantages in terms of cost advantage ...
