In addition, because the tool manages the scheduling of atomics parts, it's easy to build mechanisms which can interact between themselves with the maximum efficiency. I designed the more complex parts in a couple of weeks, with a compact code (compared to RTL), which seems easy to configure and to maintain. When I had to design the complex arbitrations and the data streaming, coupled with some weeks of practice, things became easier. I started with the most simple parts of my DMA design, and after 2 or 3 weeks of practice, I'm sure I was more efficient with standard RTL language. In addition, the tool provides a lot of embedded features which are helpful when correctly managed, but which make the things even more difficult. ![]() The new concepts intoduced by the tool (atomic rules and methods scheduled by the tool) are not so easy to handle for someone which is coding in RTL for years.
