Airborne System Design Assurance: Aldec Adds 60+ New HDL Rules to ALINT-PRO’s DO-254 Plug-In
Henderson, NV, USA – March 4, 2021 – Aldec, Inc., a pioneer in mixed HDL language simulation and hardware-assisted verification for FPGA and ASIC designs, has added more than 60 new HDL rules to ALINT-PRO™’s DO-254 rules plug-in and has made several enhancements to the tool’s Design Entry capabilities to boost productivity.
The new rules (62 in total) join the 97 already present in the tool’s DO-254 plug-in, and help engineers using complex hardware devices, such as FPGAs, meet specific DO-254 process objectives to receive overall system approval.
Certification authorities recommend that applicants define and follow HDL coding standards commensurate to the complexity of the FPGA design. Adhering to HDL coding standards enforces industry best-practices and techniques to ensure high-reliability designs, prevent design issues spreading into the downstream stages of design flow
