Verification and Validation
Bailey, verification and validation are the two important steps in testing any projects, which is used to happen at the end of the project. Now we are following the manual/automated verification process at the end of each stage for early detection of errors/bugs.

Re: Quick Question
There is a difference. You dont have to live with me! Of course she is right!!!! In fact we should get our wives to design all the products, then we wouldn't need testbenches - I will get myself into a lot of trouble soon.

Re: Quick Question
@Brian: "Yes Max - you are 100% correct."


I can't hear that enough :-)

I certainly never hear it from my wife :-(

Re: Quick Question
Ah Max. I will now purposely do things in strange ways to make you think differently. If things are always presented in the same way, you get too comfortable with it and stop thinking. And I guess I should stop calling it a testbench. How archane and inaccurate!

Re: Quick Question
Yes Max - you are 100% correct. They both communicate with each other and so shuld have been bidirectional. If anything you could claim that most designs are incapable of doing anything without first being stimulated by the testbench and thus if the arrow were in a single direction it should be from testbench to design, but a testbench that didn't look at anything coming from the design is a BAD testbench.

Re: Quick Question
@Brian -- as a follow-on to my previous question -- I always draw this sort of thing with the testbench on top ... I don't know why, but it seems it "should" be on top (or on the left) ... what do you think?

Quick Question
Hi Brian -- re your last diagram, the arrow is pointing from the computation block to the testbench. Shouldnl tthsi be (a) the other way round or (b) bidirectional?

My goal is to hold a chess-playing extravaganza at Design West 2014, in which FPGA-based and/or MCU-based "Robots" compete for a grand prize.
In addition to applications for reprogrammable hardware and processors in the Internet of Things, it also seems as if there will be a growing need to embed pieces of FPGA-like fabric into SoCs.
Colors are simply names we give to specific wavelengths or combinations of wavelengths that are received by our eyes. Maybe we each see colors differently.
Now we are ready to bring all the parts together and construct the GPS-driven, FPGA-decoded Nixie tube speedometer for use in a 1953 International pickup truck.
Here's an image of the week and a joke of the week. Also, this week's live online chat takes place Thursday, June 20, at 1:00 p.m. ET (10:00 a.m. PT).
