There are two distinct phases in bringing an FPGA system to market: the design phase and the debug and

verification phase. The primary tasks in the design phase are entry, simulation, and implementation. The primary tasks in the Debug and Verification phase are to validate the design and correct any bugs found.

The recent advancements in FPGA densities have changed the way we think of design & debug of a FPGA. This camp will focus on what can you do as an engineer to make debugging your FPGA a science rather then an art. It will also introduce to you various tools that you can use to shorten the debug cycle.
