DO-254 Lifecycle

Detailed Design for DO-254 projects

The actual development work begins in the detailed design phase, which models the design without actually producing the physical hardware.

HDL coding occurs during this phase. Synthesis and place-and-route processes, which help bridge the transition from design to implementation, begin in this phase and are sometimes considered part of Implementation.
