On Chip Debugging

 

On chip Debugging is now a must-have technology for debugging FPGAs on the bench.  The introduction of larger devices with many internal nodes has meant that external Logic Analyzers can no longer cope with identifying internal defects in a timely fashion during hardware debug.  DiaLite overcomes many of the limitations of the FPGA Vendor's own debuggers such as re-sizeable instrumentation, multiple-FPGA support and the ability to trace events back to the line of code that caused them.  This means that time spent debugging on the bench can be significantly reduced with a less hit and miss approach.

Temento is headquartered in Grenoble, France and is the market leader in hardware debugging for FPGAs.  Temento was founded in 1996 to provide production JTAG test equipment - DiaTem - from which the technology has been leveraged to monitor and control the internal nodes of FPGAs - DiaLite.
