Want Automated, Certification-Level RISC-V Verification Coverage?

I feel like an old fool (but where are we going to find one at this time of the day?). Almost everything I hear on the technology front these days causes me to have a knee-jerk reaction along the lines of, “Things have certainly changed since those far-off days when I was a bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, newly-minted engineer!”

As I’ve mentioned before, I … Read More → "Want Automated, Certification-Level RISC-V Verification Coverage?"

No Slacking! Put Your Sem;colons to Work [Exclamation Mark Goes Here]

I’m still chafing under the impositions imposed by the punctuation police. I speak of those who don the undergarments of authority and stride the corridors of power. Those despicable despots who dictate I can no longer terminate the titles to my columns with exclamation marks, all the time muttering inscrutable incantations to their SEO gods. Fortunately, I’m not bitter. … Read More → "No Slacking! Put Your Sem;colons to Work [Exclamation Mark Goes Here]"

There’s More Than One Way to Become an Engineer (Part 2)

As we discussed in the initial installment of this 2-part extravaganza, some people pursue a predictable path on their way to engineer-hood (where “-hood” comes from the Middle English “-hode,” which itself comes from the Old English “-hād,” meaning “state of being”). Others, like your humble narrator, end up taking a more circuitous route, which may involve Lady Luck finagling the dice in their favor (I … Read More → "There’s More Than One Way to Become an Engineer (Part 2)"

GOWIN’s “Golly Gosh” Low-Cost High-Performance FPGAs

I remember when the first FPGA waved a cheery hello to the world back in 1985. (I know I’ve talked about this before, but there are always new members to the EE Journal Community who weren’t around when many of the technologies we now take for granted originally appeared on the scene.) This little scamp was the Xilinx XC2064, which boasted an 8×8=64 array of configurable logic … Read More → "GOWIN’s “Golly Gosh” Low-Cost High-Performance FPGAs"
