Subject : Embedded Systems Design

Topic : Embedded Hardware and Design

Difficulty level : Low

Advantages:

• Does not provide specialized language features for accessing common device features.
• It is an excellent tool for designing lockets with PLD.
• It provides high level language construct to describe large circuits or systems.
• The designs and models can be stored as library.
• The language is portable between simulation and synthesis tool.
• Design is device independent. There is a smooth translation of design from PLD to ASIC.
• Decrease in efficiency of designer.

Disadvantages

• The control logic is designed with traditional techniques.
• The intent of design gets lost in complexity and details.
• The schematics are accompanied with documentation.
• Portability is an issue.
• Simulation environment for schematic capture design is not same.
