This is something that the software folks have been doing very effectively for decades. Naturally, it makes a lot of sense to create reusable designs in hardware too, and this is not something new either; \u00a0companies have been trying to develop ASIC modules that can be used across projects. Over the years, this idea has been called by many names &#8211; portable design, intellectual property (IP), retargetable ASIC module, and so on, depending on the scenario. \u00a0We will simply call it &#8220;IP&#8221; for our discussions here.<\/p>\n<p>How is the design of hardware\/ASIC IP different from how it is done by the software folks?
