:I was thinking of a system that generates C code out of a formal
:description. This way the code wouldn't differ much from the hand
:written one, but it would definitely be better to maintain (compare
:yacc).
:
:for example:
:
:state_idle:
: if:
: written_byte & WHATEVER_BITMASK
: newstate:
: state_program_oneshot
: output:
: this_var = that_var;
: run_foo();
:
:etc

Well, there are several languages used for describing hardware and/or
simulating hardware, but none of them are really applicable for
in-kernel use.
It sounds like it would be a fun project to write a simulation language
that can be used to implement hardware from the point of view of
software trying to use the hardware, rather then from the point of view
of board design.
