Debugging & Verification Strategies

FPGA Authority

Member

This entry-level course establishes the foundational mindset, methodology, and vocabulary that every engineer needs before approaching a debug tool. Debugging is treated not as a reactive, ad-hoc activity but as a structured, repeatable discipline that scales from single module RTL defects to full system failures on Altera FPGAs and SoC FPGA platforms.

Participants begin with the core structured debug framework: observe, hypothesize, isolate, fix, verify. They then learn to build lightweight verification plans, write self-checking simulation testbenches with bus-functional models and scoreboards, and apply SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) as a first line of defense before any hardware is involved. The final part of the course addresses one of the most common causes of "works in simulation, fails on hardware" failures: incorrect or incomplete timing constraints. Detailed SDC constraint authoring, Quartus Timing Analyzer navigation, and CDC awarene...
