- EMiX is a scalable multi-FPGA framework that addresses the challenge of emulating large-scale multi-core systems beyond single-FPGA resource limits.
- It partitions monolithic multi-core RISC-V designs into components distributed across multiple interconnected FPGAs, leveraging inter-FPGA links for scalability and performance without RTL redesign.
- A prototype of EMiX emulates a 64-core architecture across eight Alveo U55c FPGAs, successfully executing full-system tasks like Linux boot.
- EMiX will be released as an open-source platform to support FPGA-level emulation for pre-silicon chip design validation.
