Hardware Design Flow
The hardware design flow is divided by the Structural RTL level into:
- Front End: specify, explore, design, capture, synthesise → Structural RTL
- Back End: Structural RTL → place, route, mask making, fabrication.
There is a companion software design flow that must mesh perfectly with the hardware if the final product is to work first time.
