EXOSTIV Blade is a sophisticated tool designed for deep capture from multi-FPGA systems, facilitating advanced debugging and validation. Engineered to work remotely and at high speeds, the EXOSTIV Blade is essential for pre-silicon SoC validation, especially in complex, multi-FPGA scenarios. It offers scalable bandwidth and storage resources, allowing electronic engineers to capture millions of nodes across multiple FPGAs at once.
Featuring a flexible architecture, the EXOSTIV Blade accommodates various configurations, ensuring it can adapt to any capture scenario. Each unit can manage from 1 to 10 capture boards, with each board equipped with full connectivity options like QSFP28 transceivers. This robust configuration enables the system to support high-speed data capture, up to 4.5 Tbps bandwidth per chassis, and storage capacities scaling to 5.12 TB, thus providing comprehensive insights into FPGA operations.
The system also comes with software tools such as the Exostiv Blade Core Inserter, which facilitates versatile IP setup and management. Users can choose from different IP cores like the Standard IP and the Extended Width IP, to tailor the data collection to their specific needs. This capability results in efficient data organization and real-time operational analysis, giving engineers a compelling edge in refining and correcting FPGA prototypes before production.
