The concept of the integrated development environment is gaining wide attention in the system-on-chip industry. When most people speak of an IDE, they are focused only on software, and indeed the ...

The world of the hardware design engineer has changed dramatically in recent years. Designers no longer sit and code RTL in isolation to meet a paper specification, and then wait for a hardware ...

Virtual prototypes and hardware design: More powerful and complex integrated circuits and System-on-Chip (SoC) designers have a daunting task at both the hardware and software level. SoC architects ...

From SoC design to software development, software-based methodologies involving virtual prototypes are helping to prove out designs earlier and enable companies to parallelize hardware and software ...

Right now, embedded developers who choose Linux face a bombardment of "what if" questions: What if it doesn't work? What kind of technical support is available? What if it isn't robust enough? What if ...

The challenge of bringing an embedded system solution to market is delivering the solution on time. A survey of embedded developers by Electronic Market Forecasters in 2000 revealed that more than 60 ...

Much has been written about the rise of field-programmable-gate-array (FPGA) -based platforms over application-specific-integrated-circuit (ASIC) implementations. During the last few years, FPGAs have ...

High-speed, pre-silicon system models help developers start software development earlier and ensure timely product release. As the software content in today's 2.5G and 3G phones rapidly increases, ...

Earlier this week at CES 2026, Synopsys showcased AI-driven, software-defined automotive engineering tools and virtual ...

This is the second of three courses in the Embedded Interface Design (EID) specialization, the online version of the EID class offered on campus at CU Boulder. This course is an introduction to rapid ...
