Dini's naming schemes are hilarious. They're all named like monsters in B-movies -- their latest system, the DNVUF4A, is called "Godzilla's Butcher on Steroids", for instance.

Also, Dini got acquired by Synopsys a few years ago.

Oh I love their humor. There is always something humorous written for their status LEDS.

"Although no specific testing was performed, sophisticated statistical finite element models and back of the envelope calculations are showing the number of status LEDs to be bright enough to execute dermatological procedures normally done with CO2 lasers. Contact the factory for more information about this sophisticated feature and make sure an adult is present during operation. These LEDs are user controllable from the FPGAs so can be used as visual feedback in addition to burning skin."

"As with all of our FPGA-based products boards, the DNVUPF4A is loaded with LEDs. The LEDs are stuffed in several different colors (red, green, blue, orange et al.). There are enough LEDs here to melt cheese. Please don't melt cheese without adult supervision. These LEDs are user controllable from the FPGAs so can be used as visual feedback in addition to the gratifying task of creating gooey messes."

There are a lot of companies who create multi-FPGA boards. The market for FPGAs-for-ASIC-prototyping is substantial.

No, it was in-house custom made for the purpose.

Huge PCBs, ~2ft by 2ft.

Curious, what was the reason for going with custom board instead of COTS boards?

Is board to board connection with high speed connectors feasible? This was what I heard from verification folks.
