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 ...

Developers of design verification tools are putting code from higher-level languages directly on to hardware to speed up the design-checking process. The languages involved include C and dedicated ...

Verilog is a widely-used hardware description language (HDL) that enables designers to model, simulate, and synthesize digital circuits. It provides a text-based format for specifying the structure ...

Every once in a while I find myself caught in the crossfire of debates between embedded systems developers about the pros and cons of C versus C++, C/C++ versus Java, or model-driven versus ...

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 ...

Digital hardware design typically is done using a specialized language, called a hardware description language (HDL). This approach is based on the idea that hardware design has unique requirements.

Programming languages are evolving to bring the software closer to hardware. As hardware architectures become more parallel (with the advent of multicore processors and FPGAs, for example), sequential ...

The latest learn-to-code kit passing around a digital begging bowl to raise crowdfunds to make its concept fly is called FlowPaw. This education-focused electronics board takes inspiration from the ...
