OpenMAST

OpenMAST is an open source mixed-technology and mixed-signal hardware description language developed specifically to meet the unique requirements of automotive and aerospace design and verification to significantly improve reliability, robustness and productivity.

OpenMAST is an intuitive easy-to-learn language that combines the familiarity and strengths of mathematical expressions, event driven processes, and C-like programming constructs, with additional constructs targeted at reliability and robust design verification making it ideal for developing a wide range of systems. OpenMAST accelerates the design and verification of systems with proven support for statistical, parametric, and robust design analyses. Designers describe and verify their systems using OpenMAST and the libraries and tools provided by EDA vendors

Language Reference Manual
The LRM is free-of-charge and available for download on the OpenMAST web site.

Interoperability Developers' Forum
All licensees of OpenMAST automatically become part of the Developers' Forum. The Developers' Forum is designed to provide licensees with information and support to incorporate OpenMAST into their tools and design flows. The forum is geared towards technical developers of EDA tools. During the Developers' Forum, which is usually held biannually, licensees learn about future plans for OpenMAST, obtain updated documentation, become familiar with support channels, find out about scheduled training and other events, plus share experiences with each other. See the events section for more information on the next Developers' Forum.
