Making FPGA prototyping part of the design process early means actually thinking about how the design will be prototyped via an FPGA

In Prototypical – The Emergence of FPGA prototyping for SoC Design book, the authors tell the history of FPGA-based prototyping and three leading system providers – S2C, Cadence, and Synopsys.

First, the book describes how the need for co-verification evolved with chip complexity, where FPGAs got their start in verification, and why ASIC design benefits from prototyping technology.
