It is definitely the intent to detail the topics on subpages - and as
Chris indicated it is about time to start thinking about that.
It is also a group list and not an individual list, so you don't
need to re-state something from above. If you wish, you can put an
indication next to something that you support or interests you.

Chris, add the topic, abstracting register sets/register interface records
(word smith it how you like) to the CollectedRequirements page and then
start a subtopic (through a link to another page). I think the intent of
TWIKI is to start with raw ideas and refine them on the page.
I am interested in something like this if it can be applied at the
re-usable core/IP block level and multiple blocks can be integrated
together - and we integrate in testbench features that allow a
generic methodology for testing the basic read/write functionality
of the registers (to the extent it can happen from outside - due
to read only and write only bits in registers).
Best,
Jim
