FPGA Development Approach for Accelerator Systems with High Integration Complexity”. In: IPAC2013

Abstract This paper presents a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) development workflow for custom hardware as part of an accelerator control systems. The workflow is narrowed down to three equally important parts: requirements analysis, implementation and testing. Each part is presented with milestones and guidelines, which addresses subjects such as knowledge alignment and development standards. These are presented and have been proven to increase efficiency and quality of control systems
