Technologies of FPGA-based projects Development Under Ever-changing Conditions, Platform Constraints, and Time-to-Market Pressure

An analytical review of the history of the leading vendors' providers in the field of programmable logic device manufacturing is presented. The analysis of development environment changes for FPGA-based projects, and a comparative analysis of FPGA chips and development kit boards for testing are performed. The practical experience of the transition process to new development environments for FPGA-based projects is considered. It is established that the dynamics of changes in development environments must be addressed at an early stage to reduce risks. It is shown that in-system programming significantly simplifies the development of FPGA-based projects. It is shown that scaling and parallelization at the top level of project hierarchy and pipelining and parameterization at the RTL level effectively allow such systems to be deployed in commercial cloud infrastructures and data centers.
