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 ...

Before there was a mainstream open standard Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) like RISC-V, a computer processor's software/hardware interface was generally defined by processor architects. The ...

The concept and application of FPGA Coprocessors as a means of delivering hardware IP to software and system engineers is presented. The hardware and software architecture of FPGA coprocessors is ...

The hardware/software interface (HSI) is where system-on-chip (SoC) software defines the connections between the software and the underlying hardware. Maintaining a precise, synchronized HSI across ...

The concurrent design and verification of hardware and software has become a reality thanks to a plethora of resources in ESL flows, emulation, modeling and standards, and more. There once was a time ...

From the earliest days of my career, when designing chips, I have always navigated the interface between hardware and software for semiconductor design in my roles. My initial chip designs included ...

Scrum has become a popular method for developing and designing software. And why not? There’s clear evidence it improves the resulting software’s quality, shortens time to market, and even increases ...
