The super awesome news is that we just made your software engineering and hardware engineering tasks easier and faster.
In my 14 years in USB IP, a huge problem for us and our customers has been FPGA prototyping.
For our customers back in 2000, they would have to:
- Spend time building a FPGA board or
- Spent time adapting an existing board with an FPGA that might not meet timing or have capacity
- Spend time adapting a board to work with a PHY card
- Try to acquire a PHY card (or build a PHY card)
In fact, used off the shelf FPGA platforms from 3 companies, then built our own custom boards. It was painful.
