Accelerating RTL Reuse

Details

Overview

To meet the schedules and demands for complex ASIC and FPGA design projects, reusing HDL code as building blocks for new and next generation designs has become a common practice. Before committing pre-existing HDL blocks for reuse however, a design team often goes through a process to determine the code quality and builds an understanding of how the code will be incorporated into the new project.

What You Will Learn

  • This session will offer guidelines for code reuse and how to apply some practical approaches to accelerate the effort.
