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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Before circuit design can begin on any advanced semiconductor manufacturing process, the electrical behavior of the devices — transistors, diodes, resistors — must be described accurately in so-called ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...
