This document describes improvements to automatic verification of requirements in embedded systems. It outlines 9 areas where current tools lack automation, including verifying that requirements are implemented at all system levels and linked to solutions. The Visioneer tool addresses these by standardizing specifications using object-oriented modeling, automatically generating and verifying traceability between requirements and other artifacts. This improves quality by reducing manual effort and verifying requirements are complete and consistent across the development lifecycle.

"ZYNQ-7000 High Performance Electric Drive and Silicon Carbide Multilevel inverter with Scilab Hardware-in-the-loop"
By Giulio Corradi, Xilinx for ScilabTEC 2015
Physical design involves taking a synthesized netlist as input and performing floorplanning, placement, and routing to produce a physical layout. Key inputs include the netlist, timing constraints, physical libraries, and technology files. The process involves floor planning to determine block placement and routing areas, power planning to create the power distribution network, and pre-routing of standard cells and power grids. The goal is to meet timing constraints while minimizing area.
An application-specific IC (ASIC) can be either a digital or an analog circuit. As their name implies, ASICs are not reconfigurable; they perform only one specific function. For example, a speed controller IC for a remote control car is hard-wired to do one job and could never become a microprocessor. An ASIC does not contain any ability to follow alternate instructions.
This document outlines the typical ASIC design flow process. It begins with specification where the features and functionalities of the ASIC are defined. This is followed by RTL coding to develop the logic functionality in a hardware description language. Simulation and synthesis then convert the RTL into a gate-level netlist. Pre-layout timing analysis checks for timing issues. Then automatic place and route lays out the design on the chip. Back annotation adds layout parasitic information. Post-layout timing analysis checks for real timing violations. Logic verification confirms correct functionality. The final tapeout step sends the design for fabrication if all checks pass.

FPGAs were introduced in 1984 as a programmable alternative to PLDs. They fill the gap between discrete logic and smaller PLDs on the low end and more expensive ASICs on the high end. The basic elements of an FPGA are configurable logic blocks (CLBs), configurable I/O blocks (IOBs), and a programmable interconnect. FPGAs from vendors like Xilinx and Altera have a regular architecture of CLBs surrounded by IOBs and connected via a hierarchy of programmable interconnects.

The document discusses different types of programmable logic devices including CPLDs and FPGAs. It provides details on the architecture and workings of the Xilinx XC9500 CPLD family and Xilinx XC4000 FPGA family. The XC9500 CPLD uses function blocks containing macrocells with programmable AND and OR arrays. The XC4000 FPGA uses configurable logic blocks containing function generators, flip-flops and programmable multiplexers to implement logic functions. Both devices use programmable interconnects to route signals between blocks.
This document discusses MATLAB and Simulink tools for automatic code generation from models for embedded systems. It describes how Embedded Coder can generate C/C++ code from Simulink models to run on microcontrollers, DSPs, FPGAs and ASICs. It also lists the complimentary MathWorks software being provided to teams competing in the Freescale Cup and describes an upcoming automatic code generation target package for the Freescale FRDM-KL25Z board.
The document discusses DACHSview++, a graphical programming environment that combines function block programming and C/C++ programming. It allows developing real-time and GUI applications for industrial automation. DACHSview++ supports multicore CPUs, distributed systems, advanced graphics, and integrates C/C++ code through a JIT compiler. It addresses limitations of traditional PLC programming and supports future requirements for industrial automation through its event-based modeling, advanced OS features, and ability to integrate different programming languages.

•
Presented CAD environment allows the designer to proceed the
dynamic reconfiguration in dynamically reconfigurable FPGA
devices using currently available HDL tools
•
The user is fully supported during the whole process: starting from
input static VHDL files until a final VHDL description of a dynamic
behaviour of a design
•
Presented environment is a good candidate for the designer
whenever the flexibility of tools and user convenience has to be high
