<\/a>I can report that the IEEE SA concluded their editing of the specification and it is now ready for download.\u00a0 Many of you know the prior version of the SystemC standard was available for free download and have wondered if this would be the same for this revision update.\u00a0 The good news is the revision update is available as a free download as well.\u00a0 If you wish to have a printed and bound copy, that too is available, but that will have to be purchased.<\/p>\n
