FPGA-Based Prototyping Methodology Manual
The FPGA-Based Prototyping Methodology Manual: Best practices in Design-for-Prototyping (FPMM) is a comprehensive and practical guide to using FPGAs as a platform for SoC development and verification. The manual is organized into chapters which are roughly in the same order as the tasks and decisions which are performed during an FPGA-based prototyping project. The manual can be read start-to-finish or, since the chapters are designed to stand alone, you can start reading at any point that is of current interest to you.
