Rapid Retargeting® is a design process that
solves obsolescence issues by capturing existing component, board or subsystem
functionality and
upgrading it to modern technology, creating a form, fit and functional replacement.
Retargeting is typically done when existing hardware becomes unsupportable.
The retargeting effort begins by extracting the functionality of the target
hardware and capturing it in hardware description language software (e.g.
VHDL). The resulting model is simulated and compared with the original
hardware for
verification. Once verified, the model is implemented in a new hardware design
using high performance, programmable components.
The result is a highly portable technology that makes subsequent hardware
modifications and upgrades much easier, providing an obsolescence solution
for the lifetime
of the system.
