15 years ago --- Quote Start --- I have some example of old schematics based FPGA designs that are uncommented, unmaintainable and extremely difficult to understand when you aren't the person who wrote them. What's your point? You can write bad code in any language, and have schematics that look more like a spaghetti plate than hardware. Similarly you can have very clean schematics or very elegant HDL code. --- Quote End --- As have I - and the people that produced them had 20-30 years experience in hardware/FPGA design and understood very well how basic elements worked. When it came to trying to modify their designs, I wished a well organised code monkey had done it instead.
