I am hopeful that this will make the design companies role more explicit and get them to the table so that they have an opportunity to converge and simplify their requirements. In terms of exchange of information, the history is very positive as we have seen strong donations of technology like Intel's ForSpec, and great contributions on know-how from technology experts at Intel and Freescale. With this type of participation by the leaders of the system/design houses will have more skin in the game to contribute to the heavy lifting of standards creation. The outcome on this will come down to the leadership of this group and whether there is discipline on controlling # of standards, reducing standards overlap, and ensuring standards are designed to be implementable and the semantics are defined such that the tools have interoperability. ]]> Thu, 10 Dec 2009 18:09:45 -0600 1401-355 /200912091401/myblog/blog/z000e-i-dont-understand-this-new-ieee-eda-user-group.html Thu, 10 Dec 2009 17:32:08 -0600
