Coding for Re-Use
The ERPP Pre-processor
combines PERL with your RTL
For truly reconfigurable, fully parameterized designs, now you can merge PERL with your RTL language of choice.
Similar to how PHP works with HTML on a website, ERPP works seamlessly with Verilog or VHDL. This adds the full power of the PERL language to your RTL environment, letting you do if-then-elses, loops, even subroutines. With PERL's advanced abilities for text string processing, and powerful hash tables, your code can be efficient and elegant.
Software Interface Design
Avoiding the Pitfalls of Bad Software Interfaces
Almost all chips require some form of software interface, but not all software interface strategies are equal.
Avoid some classic blunders with a basic understanding of how firmware drivers like to manage hardware. Review these newsletters from Gary Stringham, a recognized expert on issues surrounding connecting hardware to firmware. Even better, read his book titled 'Hardware/Firmware Interface Design -- Best Practices for Improving Embedded Systems Development'.
