Since then, I\u2019ve engaged FPGA vendors, design managers and engineers to explain the process, paying special attention to the merits and technical detail for injecting automation into any FPGA verification environment, the hallmark of Mentor\u2019s process. The feedback from these conversations helped me to develop a series of technical webinars, now available for free and on-demand. Check them out and let us know what you think in the comments below. My hope is the webinars might serve as a starting point for your own conversations on verification of FPGAs, demand for which seems to continue to grow as process nodes shrink.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mentor.com\/products\/fv\/multimedia\/injecting-automatin-into-verification---fpga-market-trends\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Injecting Automation into Verification \u2013 FPGA Market Trends<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mentor.com\/products\/fv\/multimedia\/code-coverage-automation?sfm=auto_suggest\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Injecting Automation into Verification \u2013 Code Coverage<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mentor.com\/products\/fv\/multimedia\/injecting-automation-into-verification-assertions?sfm=auto_suggest\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Injecting Automation into Verification \u2013 Assertions<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mentor.com\/products\/fv\/multimedia\/injecting-automation-into-verification---improved-throughput\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Injecting Automation into Verification \u2013 Improved Throughput<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My Feb. 4 post introduced Mentor Graphics\u2019 three-step FPGA verification process intended to help design teams get out of the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13689,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spanish_translation":"","french_translation":"","german_translation":"","italian_translation":"","polish_translation":"","japanese_translation":"","chinese_translation":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[351,387,401,496,506,718,751,819,831,833],"industry":[],"product":[],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-11090","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-assertions","tag-code-coverage","tag-coverage","tag-fpga","tag-functional-verification","tag-simulation","tag-systemverilog","tag-verification","tag-verilog","tag-vhdl"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/verificationhorizons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11090","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/verificationhorizons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/verificationhorizons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/verificationhorizons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13689"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/verificationhorizons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11090"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/verificationhorizons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11090\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19767,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/verificationhorizons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11090\/revisions\/19767"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/verificationhorizons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11090"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/verificationhorizons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11090"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/verificationhorizons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11090"},{"taxonomy":"industry","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/verificationhorizons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/industry?post=11090"},{"taxonomy":"product","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/verificationhorizons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?post=11090"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/verificationhorizons\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=11090"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
