Kevin - LRM 2.3 work is focused on synchronization with 1364-2005, instead of the outdated -1995 that the previous AMS LRMs are based on. I view this as a necessary precondition to transferring AMS to the IEEE. I have yet to see anyone from the P1800 working group approach the Accellera AMS to set up 1800.1 (a la 1076.1 VHDL-AMS); the closest we came was 1800-XC, which sort of treated AMS as an external language to be interfaced with. -Geoffrey Kevin Cameron wrote: > Marq, > > I was under the impression that a goal of the committee (from its > inception) was to create a unified AMS HDL, and since most Verilog work > is now at the IEEE, AMS was to be transferred to the IEEE P1800 effort > as soon as possible.
