The super awesome news is that we just made your software engineering and hardware engineering tasks easier and faster.

In my 14 years in USB IP, a huge problem for us and our customers has been FPGA prototyping.

For our customers back in 2000, they would have to:

• Spend time building a FPGA board or
• Spent time adapting an existing board with an FPGA that might not meet timing or have capacity
• Spend time adapting a board to work with a PHY card
• Try to acquire a PHY card (or build a PHY card)

In fact, used off the shelf FPGA platforms from 3 companies, then built our own custom boards. It was painful.
