This year, DAC will be buzzing about AI from every direction. The debate of build vs. buy will also be a popular topic. And the debate of who owns the intellectual property embodied in chip designs and how to control it will also get a significant amount of airtime. These are all interesting and compelling discussion points. It turns… Read More
How to Free Yourself from Inconsistent Engineering Documentation Before It’s Too Late
Embedded systems programs often fail because critical engineering documentation drifts out of alignment over time and distance. This results in a team that is correctly following the wrong instructions. All forms of engineering documentation suffer from this problem, and it really is the silent killer of many programs.

Learn How llmda Uses Agentic AI to Generate Hardware Docs & Keep Them Consistent
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
The Hidden Cost of Using Claude for 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
