With the rise of reconfigurable Logic Device s, the sharing of logic designs is also a form of Open Hardware. Instead of sharing the schematics, HDL code is shared. This is different from Open Source Software. HDL descriptions are commonly used to set up SoC systems either in FPGA s or directly in ASIC designs. HDL modules, when distributed, are called Semiconductor Intellectual Property Core s, or IP cores. NOTABLE PROJECTS AND COLLECTIONS
Open hardware designers meet, discuss what they are doing and ask each other for assistance in finding parts, or seek ideas to solve design problems. OH is also an opportunity to exhibit designs, so some may learn from what others have done.
