DSP Survey, Solutions and ResourcesDate: 2013/04/04 Type: Release Shaping the Future of ASIC/FPGA DSP Design Flow – Take survey Aldec is conducting a brief survey through April 30, 2013, to better address the challenges and requirements faced by DSP designers in the field. As a thank you, a random drawing will be held among survey participants to receive a $100 Amazon giftcard. Fastest Co-Simulation Interfaces for MATLAB®, Simulink®, SystemVue® Aldec Riviera-PRO™ offers the fastest direct co-simulation interfaces with MathWorks MATLAB® & Simulink® and Agilent SystemVue®, enabling multi-domain electronic system-level (ESL) design flow for DSP, RF, and FPGA/ASIC design. Related Application Notes: MATLAB – HDL Interface in Riviera-PRO and Active-HDL Controlling Riviera-PRO from MATLAB Using Agilent SystemVue® Co-Simulation Interface FPGA Prototyping Using Agilent SystemVue and Aldec Riviera-PRO DSP-Aware Debugging Tools There are two types of Independent Design Environments (IDE) – those with and those without DSP-aware debugging tools. When an IDE does not provide DSP- aware debugging tools, engineers must use workarounds in the design process instead of focusing their attention on DSP concepts and improving productivity. See Using Plots for HDL Debugging as a Powerful Alternative to Traditional Waveforms to uncover the benefits of the new Plot Window to debug data-intensive applications such as image processing, digital filtering, industrial control systems, telecommunication systems and certain embedded systems. Designs that use IEEE 754-2008™ floating-point arithmetic present another debugging challenge. The white paper, Making Floating-Point Arithmetic Work in Your RTL Design explains how to tackle floating-point arithmetic debugging challenges using the tools available with Riviera-PRO IDE.
