PETALUMA, Calif. — Because of a prior trademark, startup EtherDesign Software has changed the name of its C-based hardware description language from C2HDL to SeaHDL.
When the C-based HDL product was released earlier this month, Jeff Sutton, founder of EtherDesign, said the software was intended to make it easy for communications engineers to run system-level simulations and do ASIC and FPGA design.
EtherDesign also offers a translator, also called SeaHDL, that converts the company's C-based language into synthesizable Verilog code and simulatable Matlab files.
