HSI is a critical capability that now has the full attention of the Accellera PSWG and whose absence results in extra work for companies that want to adopt Portable Stimulus tools without some form of ...

The growing number of SOC (system-on-chip) developments has highlighted for many systems companies the problems associated with parallel development of hardware and software. Well-understood hardware- ...

In today’s semiconductor landscape, scale is becoming a bigger battleground—not only for chipmakers, but increasingly for hyperscalers, cloud giants, and other systems companies, too. They're all ...

Magillem Registers is a comprehensive register design and management technology that accurately automates the hardware/software interface (HSI) to quickly develop chips and chiplets ranging from IoT ...

There once was a time when system design was completely serial. Entire hardware platforms were designed, prototyped, debugged, and virtually completed before any software development began. Of course, ...

Designing hardware and software simultaneously is a key factor in reducing time-to-market. Although some vendors are talking about tools to facilitate the task, we still have a long way to go before ...

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 ...

Today’s SoCs for automotive safety-related systems integrate numerous IP blocks. At the system level, the Hardware Software Interface (HSI) between these IP blocks needs to be verified in simulation ...

Here on Hackaday, we’re generally designers of hacks that live in the real world. Nevertheless, I’m convinced that some of the most interesting feats are at the mercy of what’s possible in software, ...

Solution Integration: Integration of acquired silicon-proven Magillem 5 and Semifore CSRCompiler products into a next-generation ‘single source of truth’ software product for register management and ...
