Abstract

This paper introduces an FPGA IP evaluation and delivery system that operates within Java applets. The use of such applets allows designers to create, evaluate, test, and obtain FPGA circuits directly within a web browser. Based on the JHDL design tool, these applets allow structural viewing, circuit simulation, and netlist generation of application-specific circuits. Applets can be customized to provide varying levels of IP visibility and functionality as needed by both customer and vendor.
