This book focuses on FPGA EDA tools, the very foundation of FPGA technology. Instead of illustrating how to use them, this book dives into the tools themselves, revealing how these tools are being designed and how they may improve. Unlike other semiconductors, FPGA has a distinctive two-stage EDA system: chip design EDA and application design EDA.State-of-the-art algorithms, data models and design methodologies/standards are the main concerns of this book, and these will be very helpful for FPGA EDA engineers and researchers to obtain a bird’s eye view of this complicated knowledge system. In the chip design EDA part, full-custom and semicustom methodologies bring up ASIC-like EDA tools, and in the application design EDA side, typical topics including high-level synthesis, logic synthesis, physical implementation, bitstream configuration, etc., are well discussed.
