FPGA ARCHITECTURE, DESIGN & IMPLEMENTATION

• Requirements & Architecture: Define system needs, choose the right FPGA, and plan the hardware/software architecture (for SoCs).
• Design & Entry: Create the design using HDL (VHDL/Verilog) or schematic capture.
• Simulation (Verification)
• Synthesis: Convert HDL code into a technology-specific netlist (gates, flip-flops) for the target FPGA.
• Implementation(Place & Route)
• Timing Analysis: Verify the design meets timing constraints (clock speeds, delays).
• Bitstream Generation: Create the .bit file (bitstream) that configures the FPGA.
• Programming: Load the bitstream onto the FPGA device.
• Hardware Verification (In-Circuit Testing)
