Dream up the system. Draw up the specification. Then push a button and let the computer work up the chip. So goes the holy grail of design automation. Of course, the real design process is not so ...

What are the RISC-V External Debug Support Version 0.13.2 specifications? Advantages of a using high-level-language debugger. The role of the ubiquitous breakpoints in debugging. How trace is ...

If you cut your teeth on Z-80 assembly and have dabbled in other assembly languages, you might not find much mystery in creating programs using the next best thing to machine code. However, if you ...

In the world of design languages, change is driven by rising design complexity. For example, by the late 1980s, ASIC designers had begun shifting from schematic-capture-based design methodologies to ...

High-quality RISC-V implementations are becoming more numerous, but it is the extensibility of the architecture that is driving a lot of design activity. The challenge is designing and implementing ...

In the world of software engineering, code can take multiple forms from the time it's written by a programmer to the moment it is executed by a computer. What begins as high-level source code, written ...
