Embedding HDL Design Expertise to Improve First Pass Success Rate

Details

Overview

Watch this presentation to learn how to analyze and develop higher quality HDL code using HDL Designer. The session introduces a number of concepts such as design checking, analysis, code reviews and visualization to yield a better development process and reduce risk.

What You Will Learn

  • How to use design checking on HDL code to:
    • Identify coding issues earlier in development prior to simulation and synthesis
    • Confirm compliance to coding guidelines
    • Embed expert knowledge into coding guidelines
    • Speed-up analysis of IP and code reviews
  • What types of checks are available
  • Concepts like code reviews, design reviews, improved project documentation and use of assertions
  • How to use HDL Designer tool to improve design checking and analysis
