Why Generic LLMs Fall Short for Critical Engineering Documentation

Engineering documentation has always been difficult to produce, maintain, and scale. But with the rise of generative AI, many organizations are asking a reasonable question: can a general-purpose large language model (LLM) like Claude automate the work? At first glance, the answer appears to be yes.

Modern LLMs can generate… Read More

Caspia 400 X 400 (2)

Let’s face it, powerful, highly trained AI is making it easier to find security flaws in many systems. When the attack surface becomes the underlying hardware, the risks grow exponentially. Unlike software, hardware can’t easily be “patched”. Early, advanced security verification is the way to mitigate these risks, but doing… Read More

Da Yang U2UNA2026 77

The semiconductor industry is entering a transformative new phase, driven by the convergence of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and increasingly complex chip architectures. That message took center stage during the keynote talks at the Siemens EDA User2User 2026 North America conference. Executives from Siemens,… Read More


Are You Ready for Spec-Driven Verification?

Are You Ready for Spec-Driven Verification?
by Bernard Murphy on 05-26-2026 at 6:00 am

Many specs with bugs

Quick recap: verification is checking that your implementation of a design matches the in-house design/test specification. In contrast, validation means checking that the implementation matches design intent as defined by a customer specification, use cases, etc. Let’s focus on verification; for simplicity I’ll use “design… Read More

If You Struggle with Up To Date Documentation llmda.ai Can Help

Accurate, complete, and consistent technical documentation is a critical element of success for any embedded system design project. This includes IP, SoCs, and the associated hardware and software infrastructure. When documentation contains errors, the consequences go beyond engineering inefficiency. Errors that drive… Read More


Europe is Getting Serious About ASIC Innovation

Europe is Getting Serious About ASIC Innovation
by Bernard Murphy on 05-21-2026 at 6:00 am

European ASIC Startups

I was born in the UK (then still a part of Europe), so always eager to see them succeed. But I must admit that past behavior has reinforced the view that the EU’s only active “contribution” to progress is regulation. However this seems to be changing in multiple interesting ways. On a grand scale, the Nordic economic model is taking … Read More

Yuning Jonah

At CES 2026, Samsung called it a “companion.” Lenovo called it “ambient intelligence.” OpenAI spent $6.4 billion on a screenless device designed to be a continuous presence in your pocket. Meta acquired Limitless, the AI pendant that had been tracking everything its wearers said and heard. Every major consumer electronics company… Read More
