Simulation, Synthesis, Verification, etc. Design Tools

Design engineers typically need to use a tremendous variety of tools to capture, verify, synthesize, and implement their designs.Introducing all of these tools would require a book in itself, 1 so this chapter focuses on some of the more significant contenders in the context of FPGA designs (along with a couple I threw in for interest's sake): ▪ Simulation (cycle-based, event-driven, etc.)
