About 16 months ago, in the February 2001 Linux Journal [see www.linuxjournal.com/article/4428], we reviewed the state of open source in electronic design automation ...

You don’t usually think of simulating Verilog code — usually for an FPGA — as a visual process. You write a test script colloquially known as a test bench and run your simulation. You might get some ...

Over the last year we’ve had several posts about the Lattice Semiconductor iCEstick which is shown below. The board looks like an overgrown USB stick with no case, but it is really an FPGA development ...

A new technical paper titled “VerilogDB: The Largest, Highest-Quality Dataset with a Preprocessing Framework for LLM-based RTL Generation” was published by researchers at the University of Florida.

Open Verilog International (OVI) was founded in 1990 to support and extend the Verilog Hardware Description Language (HDL). It merged with VHDL International (VI) in 2000 to become Accellera. Verilog ...

Dozens of analog and digital IP blocks are integrated into today’s SoCs. They contain multiple voltage domains that support several modes, like Standby, Low power, Reduced Clock Mode, etc.

Designers of electronic hardware describe the behavior and structure of system and circuit designs using hardware description languages (HDLs)—specialized programming languages commonly known as VHDL, ...

Assertion is a very powerful feature of System Verilog HVL (Hardware Verification Language). Nowadays it is widely adopted and used in most of the design verification projects. This article explains ...
