If you are not quite familiar yet with Digital Design, you may find interesting to take a look at our Conference :Designing Complex FPGAs.

To get in touch with us, click on Contacts.

Indeed, you may want us to take care of the Complete Design, but we may also help you gain in productivity and quality of result through specific actions.

In particular :

  • During the Feasibility & Specification phase (when Architecture and Partitionning decisions are made).
    This phase is very critical and often under-estimated : the capabilities, the cost and the deadlines may strongly depend on the choices made here.
    Sharing ideas, and exploring alternate solutions may be of great value.
    An experienced and independant expert can help...
     
  • In the Selection of your Design Tools.
    Selecting and setting up the right Methodology and the right Design Tools is a first step. The best tools for your needs are not necessarily the most expensive. We can share our daily experience with all kinds of tools.
     
  • In Getting Your Team Up To Speed.
    Our Training Courses can ensure that the proper Know-How and Methodologies will be used within your Project, and new members can be levelled up. Your Team will be efficient and motivated.
     
  • We can help you Enforce Sound Design Practices.
    Especially, we suggest that you :
     - Create your own Design Methodology,
     - Distribute Quick Users Guides for your design tools,
     - Publish your own HDL Coding Style Guide
     - Promote & enforce Portable & Generic Code (FPGA->FPGA, FPGA->ASIC...)
     - Adopt clear Test and Validation Strategies...
    We certaibly can help you here.
     
  • We can Design some Tricky Parts of your Project for you.
    You may be short in human resources, or you may wish to take advantage of our know-how in some specific areas.
    In every case, we will hand you the complete know-how, even if this means training some of your designers into our design tricks. Our prefered policy is to proide every line of code and document in details our work so you can easily understand it, and maintain it later if necessary.
     
  • We can participate in Design Reviews .
    Too often, the benefits of Peer Reviews are ignored. Peer Reviews can be a very fast and efficient way to improve the productivity and the quality of results, especially when an external Expert is used.
     
  • We can create the proper Test and Validation Tools.
    Every serious Book about HDL Methodology recommands that Test benches (Test Fixtures) and Validation tools (Golden Models, Regressionnable Test suites, etc...) be developped in parallel with the RTL code, by a separate Team.
    This is the optimal solution to achieve better designs in shorter deadlines.
    If you do not have two such Teams available for your projects, we can also helps you here.

As you can see, we can help you in many different ways.

All our Customers are extremely satisfied to have involved us in their Projects.
