Abstract(in English) We propose a partition method to prototype a large scaled system with time-multiplexed I/Os. Recent prototyping of a large scaled system needs several FPGAs. In the prototyping, there is a severe issue that the number of I/Os on one FPGA is less than the number of signals to connect the multiple FPGAs. To solve the issue, a time-multiplexed I/O has been proposed. The time-multiplexed I/O is that a pin is divided into several time slots and shared by several signals. When the time-multiplexed I/O is utilized, the circuit partition and the signal selection to be time-multiplexed determine the speed of the prototype system. In the selection, signal lines on the long path between FFs tend to detoriate the system speed. In this paper, we propose a min-weight partition method in which each signal line on the longer path has large weight. We implement the proposed method on computer and confirm its performance.
