The Rapid Prototyping Platform is part of the tightly integrated System Development Suite, which also includes virtual prototyping, simulation, and acceleration/emulation. In this interview Juergen Jaeger, senior product marketing manager at Cadence, talks about the limitations and challenges of FPGA-based prototyping today and discusses some of the capabilities provided by the Rapid Prototyping Platform.
