In this week’s Fish Fry we’re looking for pearls in the the deep waters of EDA. My guest is Scott Bloom from Blue Pearl Software. Scott and I chat about RTL debugging with formal technology, multi-trace technology, and what it’s like to crash land a plane and survive. Also this week, we investigate some serious power-related issues that your signal integrity tool may not be equipped to handle.

It’s time for the FinFET rubber to meet the road. In this week’s Fish Fry, we look into the issues surrounding FinFET design today. My guest this week is Swami Venkat (Synopsys) and we chat about FinFET adoption (or lack thereof), the specific needs of FinFET design from an EDA point of view, and timing analysis in FinFET designs. Also this week, we check out how and why Performance-per-watt will play an increasingly more larger (and more important) role in our FinFET designs.

Welcome to the Fish Fry commune my friends. This week we're bringing zen to your IoT verification process. My guest is John Koeter from Synopsys and we are taking a closer look at holistic ways to verify our IoT designs. John and I discuss verification in IoT, the unique challenges of IP in IoT, and the best places for foodies in the Bay Area. Also this week, we check out how you can lower your BOM bottom line (that might not be obvious by simply looking at component costs) and we're giving everyone another chance to win an Odyssey MAX® 10 FPGA and BLE Sensor Kit.

Calling all makers, DIYers and FPGA enthusiasts -- This week’s Fish Fry is dedicated to you! In a very special episode of Fish Fry, we are giving away an Odyssey MAX® 10 FPGA and BLE Sensor Kit courtesy of Macnica. Steve Sharp (Macnica) joins us to unveil the cool features of this new FPGA and BLE Sensor Kit and give us the low down on what awesome projects we can create with it. Also this week, we look into the growing security threats facing our FPGA designs today and investigate Altera’s new Stratix 10 built-in security features that hope to keep the bad guys at bay - once and for all.

Rome was certainly not built in a day and neither was your next embedded software project. In this week’s Fish Fry, we take a closer look at virtual platform-based methodology for embedded software development with Simon Davidmann (CEO - Imperas). Simon and I discuss the open source advantages of the Open Virtual Platform Consortium and how virtual platforms can speed up your design process. Also this week, we check out a new dual mode Bluetooth 4.0 module from Microchip Technology that will help you get your next IoT connected faster than ever before.

In this week’s Fish Fry we explore a whole new world of wearable technologies with Julian Penders from Bloom Technologies. Julian (co-author of “Wearable Technologies for Healthier Pregnancies”) and I talk about how wearable technologies can help monitor lifestyle behaviors. We’ll be looking at the future of wearable technologies targeted for pregnancy, and discussing how these technologies pose additional challenges. Also this week, I check out Cadence’s new Innovus tool suite and reveal how it could make routing your million gate IC design just a little bit easier.
