FPGA Eda: Design Principles and Implementation

This book focuses on FPGA EDA tools, the very foundation of FPGA technology. Instead of illustrating how to use them, this book dives into the tools themselves, revealing how these tools are being designed and how they may improve. Unlike other semiconductors, FPGA has a distinctive two-stage EDA system: chip design EDA and application design EDA.State-of-the-art algorithms, data models and design methodologies/standards are the main concerns of this book, and these will be very helpful for FPGA EDA engineers and researchers to obtain a bird's eye view of this complicated knowledge system. In the chip design EDA part, full-custom and semicustom methodologies bring up ASIC-like EDA tools, and in the application design EDA side, typical topics including high-level synthesis, logic synthesis, physical implementation, bitstream configuration, etc., are well discussed.

本書專注於FPGA EDA工具，這是FPGA技術的基礎。與其教授如何使用這些工具，本書深入探討這些工具本身，揭示它們的設計方式以及可能的改進方向。與其他半導體不同，FPGA具有獨特的兩階段EDA系統：晶片設計EDA和應用設計EDA。本書主要關注最先進的演算法、數據模型和設計方法論/標準，這對於FPGA EDA工程師和研究人員來說，將有助於獲得對這個複雜知識體系的整體了解。在晶片設計EDA部分，全定制和半定制方法帶來了類似ASIC的EDA工具；在應用設計EDA方面，典型的主題包括高級綜合、邏輯綜合、物理實現、位流配置等都有詳細討論。
