How does DDGen help my firm/team?
DDGen helps in reducing the time required for device driver development. The tool articulates the principle of “Spec once and generate many times”. The idea is to capture the device (IC/ASIC/SoC) specification once and in the correct format (without the ambiguity as seen in the data sheets, due to the use of an informal language such as English). Every time the device is used in different applications only the specification related to run time environment (software specification) needs to be changed or redefined. This would result in saving substantial amount of time for the design engineers. Also the IC vendor can reduce his/her support costs (man days/months effort) by recommending their vendors to adopt the tool.
