We propose the use of XML for specifying and designing hardware. Many different methods for the specification of hardware designs are in use. The majority of these are based on either closed markup ...

It’s been just over a year since Valve released Index, their flagship VR system, and it’s worth looking back at this GitHub repository as a fine example of how to provide supporting materials to a ...

Editor's Note: Designing a robust hardware/firmware interface is not a simple process. It's no accident that engineers charged with this task are generally the more senior and experienced engineers on ...

Although steps of the design process may differ for different types of hardware, the basic design procedures remain the same. Rarely, however, do companies detail an entire process in a written ...

The world of the hardware design engineer has changed dramatically in recent years. Designers no longer sit and code RTL in isolation to meet a paper specification, and then wait for a hardware ...

A technical paper titled “PEak: A Single Source of Truth for Hardware Design and Verification” was published by researchers at Stanford University. “Domain-specific languages for hardware can ...

The iterations a specification goes through in a given project. Are chip design and verification specs, and hardware and software specs, separate entities? Automation of the specification process.

There once was a time when system design was completely serial. Entire hardware platforms were designed, prototyped, debugged, and virtually completed before any software development began. Of course, ...

It is possible to achieve five-nines reliability with everyday commercial-quality hardware and software. The key is the way in which these components are combined. Our society has come to expect ...
