Prototype verification platform for concurrently controlling plurality of FPGAs

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides a prototype verification platform for concurrently controlling multiple FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Array) and belongs to the technical field of computer auxiliary equipment. The platform particularly comprises a verification controller and an external port, wherein the external port is used for transmitting a verification instruction to the verificationcontroller, the verification controller is used for controlling the operation of at least one group of FPGAs in each FPGA based on the verification instruction, the operation result information generated by the at least one group of FPGAs based on the verification instruction is read, the storage information of each FPGA is read, and the operation result information and the storage information between the at least two groups of FPGAs are transmitted, and the external port is further used for outputting the information received by the verification controller. Through the platform, common management and interaction of a plurality of FPGAs can be realized, and the concurrent downloading speed is effectively improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of computer auxiliary equipment, in particular to a prototype verification platform for concurrently controlling multiple FPGAs. Background technique [0002] With the development of the chip industry, the integration of chips is getting higher and higher, and the scale of logic gates is also getting bigger and bigger. However, the number of logic gates on a single FPGA prototype verification platform used to design chips is limited. In order to meet the prototype verification of larger-scale chips , it is necessary to distribute a large design to multiple FPGAs to run, and to be able to control it in parallel in real time. According to the existing scheme, the interactive control of FPGAs on the development board one by one can no longer meet the performance and requirements of simultaneous control of multiple FPGAs. High-performance concurrent control of FPGAs has become an urgent problem to be solved in t...
