UNSHADES is the acronym of UNiversity of Sevilla HArdware
DEbugging System. Under
this name a team of the Electronic Engineering Department of the University of
Sevilla has developed a set of hardware platforms and software tools that
are extremly useful for explore during execution time a digital design, working in system or fed by test vectors. Our platforms are based on Xilinx devices
advanced features and inserted into Xilinx standard design flow.
UNSHADES Concept
The goal of UNSHADES platforms is to provide
comprehensible information (observability) about
the internal state of a running circuit. For this reason, a strong interaction
has been produced between a host PC (for the designer) and the board. The
configuration structure is merged with some common I/O wires in the same PC-board
link (controllability), and the software tools
manage them in order to control and extract the data flow.
UNSHADES goals
UNSHADES is a set of platforms and
tools created by means of public funds and for pure research objective.
One of the most important scopes of UNSHADES are academia projects
(Student master projects,
Proyectos fin de carrera),
another is the collaboration with companies providing tools and platforms for
design debugging.
UNSHADES Sponsors
UNSHADES has originally been
developed using funds from the Electronic Engineering Departament of the
University of Sevilla. Xilinx University Program has gently donated some devices
for research purpose. Finally, UNSHADES-2 has been developed through the
Spanish Science and Technology Ministry
