Transaction level modeling (TLM) is gaining favor over register-transfer level (RTL) for design components because of its many advantages—including faster design and verification times, easier ...

If designers can verify individual blocks before subsystem integration, the verification team can focus on complex ...

Achieving efficiency in integrated circuit (IC) design while maintaining design quality is not just a goal, but a necessity. Designers constantly strive to strike a balance between ever-tightening ...

It is well known that the task of verification looms large in the design of digital IP, as well as the design of SoCs. The target is to reach 100% for both RTL code and functional coverage, minimizing ...

Designing the hardware-software interface. Dealing with "bytes enables" in RTL verification. Automating the HSI design process across the entire dev team. The hardware-software interface (HSI) holds ...

Today it is not unusual for FPGA users to have to deal with more than one language in their designs. At earlier stages of the design development it may be necessary to interface HDL simulation with ...

This course is an introduction to usability and user experience (UX) design methods that can be applied to embedded devices and systems. UX methods are presented for user analysis, planning, research, ...
