Pictured in the Synopsys lab, above, is one of the fully operational next generation HAPS systems. I was asked multiple times this week why Synopsys has not publically announced the systems when the hardware is fully operational. There are a number of factors which make up the reason with the most important being that hardware is only a fraction of the challenge of FPGA-based prototyping. You cannot be successful without an implementation tool flow and that tool flow must be tested against the real hardware. We will announce when the complete solution is ready to go and can make customers immediately productive. Saying that, if you want early access to the HAPS ProtoCompiler software tool set and HAPS hardware with engineering sample Xilinx FPGA’s then contact me or your local Synopsys representative. We are already collaborating with over 20 customers in preparation for full availability.
