Abstract
Hardware description language (HDL)-centered design system and methodology uses HDL specification effectively as master depository for design intent or knowledge. Through network browser, designers conveniently navigate or explore design graphically. Designers selectively review or save design in entirety or portions. Design capture, analysis, and manipulation are based on HDL specification, either directly through text file editing, or indirectly through use of graphical tools.
