Step-by-Step Guide to Running Lint Checks, Catching Errors, and Fixing Them: Industrial Best Practices with Examples
In VLSI design, maintaining clean, error-free HDL code is essential for successful chip development. One of the most effective ways to ensure code quality is by running lint checks—a static analysis technique that detects potential coding issues before simulation or synthesis. This article provides a practical, step-by-step guide on how to run lint tools, interpret lint…
