DeskPOD can be used to: Enhance the effectiveness of FPGA prototyping, Enable hardware/software coverification of systems with SoC's and standard components Simplify silicon validation and test program preparation The DeskPOD system allows hardware engineers to have fast and accurate simulation and software engineers to have early access to the target hardware. You can also retarget the system to enhance the cost effectiveness of silicon prototype validation and test program preparation.
