1. A method for emulating a circuit design using a plurality of prototyping boards, the method comprising:

  • connecting a first prototyping board having a set of programmable logic components to a first interface having a set of programmable logic components using a first set of wires, the first prototyping board being described by a first plurality of board description files;

    partitioning the circuit design according to the first plurality of board description files into the first prototyping board using the set of programmable logic components of the first prototyping board for emulating the circuit design;

    configuring the set of programmable logic components of the first prototyping board with a module configured to transmit data between the first prototyping board and the first interface using at least one of the first set of wires; and

    configuring the set of programmable logic components of the first interface with at least one of interface logic that provides communication with another interface or workstation connected to the first interface using a second set of wires or an interconnection fabric that provides communication between a plurality of prototyping boards.
