Abstract :
To enhance efficiency and quality in rapid prototyping we insert a novel high-level optimization approach into a proved design flow. This approach applies a FSM partitioning technique which takes technology-specific features into consideration and performs state encoding simultaneously. Reducing FPGA resources drastically, it assists the designer to get by on the available resources if an ASIC-oriented specification has to re-targeted to a FPGA prototype
