The requirements of the firmware design are defined
High- Level Design
The requirements are used to design the system, which include generating block designs and identifying the most suitable components.
RTL Design
RTL design is performed to create a detailed hardware description using HDL such as Verilog or VHDL. The design includes creating modules, defining signals and their relationship, and creating test benches.
Simulation
The RTL design is simulated using simulation software to ensure its functionality and correctness.
Synthesis
The RTL design is synthesised, which entails putting it in a format that the FPGA device can utilise.
Implementation
The synthesised design is then implemented on the FPGA device, which includes mapping the design to FPGA resources and routing signals across FPGA interconnects.
Verification
The FPGA’s final design is validated to confirm its functioning and accuracy on the hardware. .
Timing Analysis
Timing analysis is performed to ensure that the design meets the timing constraints.
Bitstream Generation
The completed design is converted into a bitstream file that can be put onto the FPGA device.
Configuration
The bitstream file is configured on the FPGA device, which programmes the FPGA with the design.
