Never has the old adage ‘what comes around goes around’ been truer when it comes to digital design entry. Despite innovation in high-level approaches, the vast majority of HDL design still begins life in a humble text editor, much as it did over 20 years ago in the dawn of language-based hardware methodology.
There are strong reasons for this; efficiency, scalability, control and (maybe most importantly) personal choice. So, how have such ‘simple’ tools kept abreast of the unassailable march in design complexity? An Eclipse-based IDE approach can yield significant productivity benefits, as it already has for software engineers.
In this webinar we will look at how your current choice of HDL entry editor may be masking errors in your design (sorry to break it to you!) A better approach may be an editor that examines your code in real time, guiding your development and allowing you to be more creative to boot. In this environment, considerations in terms of coding guidelines (LINT) and quality of implementable code (Design Rule Checking) can be seamlessly integrated into the same intuitive view. In summary, we will demonstrate how using an industry standard development environment will result in better code quality and a more efficient downstream process.
