FPGA Design Needs More Than a Face Lift

FPGA design success is based on the promise of getting to hardware fast, while performing system debug on actual hardware. Constant re-spins, including architectural/design changes, are performed until the FPGA meets system requirements. This method works for smaller devices, but obviously fails for high-end FPGAs because the resulting unpredictable design schedules imply unacceptable product slippages and unrealized business.
