Abstract
The present invention provides a prototyping system which is capable of the verification of a designed circuit by using various IPs in verifying the designed circuit with ease, which prototyping system includes a prototyping engine, a server computer, and an interface module. The prototyping engine has many component devices, for example, RFPDs and communication ports connecting the RFPDs to one another, and each of the communication ports has an additional circuit for R-communication which is to transmit signal values among the RFPDs. The server computer partitions the designed circuit to be verified with partial circuits by executing a prototyping system software, allocates the partitioned partial circuits to the respective components devices including RFPDs of the engine, and produces a programming pattern for some of the partial circuits of the designed circuit to be verified. The interface module is in charge of interfacing between the server computer and the prototyping engine.
