Abstract:
Presented by DesignLinx, the AMD Embedded Premier Partner of the Year for the Americas, and Aldec, the industry leader in simulation and verification solutions, this webinar will show you how to unlock the full potential of your FPGA designs with advanced static linting and CDC analysis. These powerful verification methodologies detect structural issues, eliminate hidden bugs, and ensure reliable clock-domain crossings early in the flow. As a result, you'll improve design quality, accelerate verification, and reduce costly iterations—empowering your team to deliver safer, faster, and more robust FPGA solutions.
FPGA designs targeting AMD devices demand robust and efficient RTL implementation to fully leverage advanced architectures and meet performance, timing, and reliability goals. Undetected RTL coding issues can trigger costly design iterations and unpredictable failures late in the FPGA development flow, often during synthesis, implementation, or hardware bring-up. Advanced linting provides a powerful static analysis methodology tailored for RTL, detecting issues long before simulation or lab validation. By applying hundreds of design rules relevant to FPGA design—including synthesizability checks for Vivado®, clock domain crossing (CDC) analysis, and reset network integrity—linting helps designers uncover bugs, inefficiencies, and mismatches early in the process.
In this webinar, we’ll demonstrate how advanced linting and CDC analysis can specifically enhance AMD FPGA projects, streamline the development process, and ensure higher design reliability. Practical examples will highlight how linting supports optimal code quality, enables design reuse, and prevents late-stage surprises during synthesis and place-and-route.
