SYSTEM AND METHOD OF EMULATING MULTIPLE CUSTOM PROTOTYPE BOARDS

An emulation system integrates multiple custom prototyping boards for emulating a circuit design. A first custom prototyping board including at least one FPGA and an interface connected to a first set of wires coupling to the at least one FPGA. A second custom prototyping board includes at least one second FPGA and an interface connected to a second set of wires coupling to the at least second FPGA. An adaptor board connects to the first custom prototyping board and the second custom prototyping board through the first interface and the second interface. The adapter board controls emulation of the circuit design and controls communication through the partitioned circuit using at least one of the first set of wires and at least one the second set of wires.
