Synopsys Press Technical Series
Better Software. Faster!
Editor: Tom De Schutter (Synopsys). Contributions from: Altera, ARM, Bosch, Fujitsu Semiconductor Limited, General Motors, Hitachi America, Kyocera Document Solutions, Lauterbach, Linaro, Microsoft, Ricoh, Renesas, Siemens, Texas Instruments, Synopsys and VDC Research.
A book that dives deep into virtual prototyping as the key methodology to enable concurrent hardware/software development by decoupling the dependency of the software development from hardware availability. The ability to start software development much earlier in the design cycle drives a true "shift left" of the entire product development schedule and results in better products that are available earlier. The Better Software. Faster! Virtual Prototyping book is available in English, Chinese and Japanese.
FPGA-Based Prototyping Methodology Manual (FPMM)
Authors: Doug Amos (Synopsys), Austin Lesea (Xilinx), René Richter (Synopsys)
A manual that tackles the complexity of FPGA-based prototyping one step at a time. The FPMM identifies the three laws of prototyping and provides information on how they can be broken or overcome by using automation and a design-for-prototyping methodology to improve software quality and project schedules. The FPMM is available in both English and Japanese.
Verification Methodology Manual for Low Power
Authors: Srikanth Jadcherla (Synopsys), Janick Bergeron (Synopsys), Yoshio Inoue (Renesas), and David Flynn (ARM)
A text that defines a robust and scalable verification architecture that can be used to quickly setup and complete verification of low power designs. The methodology addresses all aspects of functional verification of power management functions, including suggestions for static versus dynamic verification, design-for-verification techniques, and use of assertions and coverage metrics to achieve rapid verification closure.
