Björn Hartmann on Opportunities and Challenges for Circuit Board Level Hardware Description Languages

BCNM Professor Björn Hartmann, along with Richard Lin, published a paper titled "Opportunities and Challenges for Circuit Board Level Hardware Description Languages" on the arXiv repository.

From the abstract:

Board-level hardware description languages (HDLs) are one approach to increasing automation and raising the level of abstraction for designing electronics. These systems borrow programming languages concepts like generators and type systems, but also must be designed with human factors in mind to serve existing hardware engineers. In this work, we look at one recent prototype system, and discuss open questions spanning from fundamental models through usable interfaces.
