Modern electronic systems use one or more PCBs, connected by backplanes, daughterboards or cables. BoardTrace from the editor HDL Works simplifies interconnection verification: load your PCB files and instantly visualize the connections between your boards, without manually comparing hundreds of pins.
BoardTrace transforms your netlists into clear and interactive view : Instantly visualize the connections between components, even across multiple boards and for the largest elements, thanks to intelligent sorting and filtering.
In multi-board systems, signal names may differ, but BoardTrace automatically links them thanks to its intelligent rules. 80 to 90% of connections are identified instantlyand subsequent modifications are verified in a single action. With her sorted view of problemsBoardTrace allows you to validate large systems in minuteseffortlessly and without methodological constraints.
Each FPGA ou processor can be visualized as a virtual map, from pin reports, constraints or CSV files, to see how its I/Os connect to other system components:
- Visualizing component connectivity
- Comparison of PCB signals/pins using regular expressions
- Automatic rule generation
- User validation of differences
- Support for multiple map formats in one project
- Pin mapping for OPENVPX
- Focus on the essentials, not on thousands of lines
- Easy integration into any design workflow
- HTML report
