As one of the most advanced research field, the problem of SoC (System on a Chip) design is getting more and more attention. With the promotion of its theory and technique, SoC verification turns to one of the most significant part in the procedure of realizing a usable integrated circuit. And verification using FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) which must obey a set of strict technological process is a kind of general way. With the growing complexity and integrated scale of SoC design, a single FPGA chip could hardly satisfy the verification requirement. Then the method of verification using multi-FPGA is taken and expresses some advantages in some respects. Multi-FPGA verification is still in the initial step situation and has a broad developing space. The architecture of multi-FPGA verification platform is given in this paper, as well as some related key technical problem and solutions.
