… FPGAs introduced a novel idea: instead of rebuilding hardware every time the design evolved, engineers could map the design-under-test DUT directly into programmable silicon. …
… Godwin’s focus on energy efficiency, Arun’s account of AI-assisted design flows, and Frank’s hardware-accelerated verification all reveal different facets of the same strategy. …
… Hardware design involves critical choices: make or buy. …
… Generic LLMs were not designed to provide this full enterprise layer out of the box. …
… Cryptographic signatures or hardware roots of trust may support evidence chain of custody, but the core TCG function is broader: determining whether evidence is synchronized, realization-consistent, causally valid, and admissible for a specific convergence decision. …
… The validation team tested their design on both 3 rd party emulation hardware and Synopsys’ SVS. Using the 3 rd party emulation, the system booted successfully, but on SVS, the boot failed completely. Initially, the engineers suspected a hardware fault in SVS. …
