hardwarecontrolled
Hardwarecontrolled is a term used to describe systems in which core control functions are implemented in hardware rather than relied primarily on software. In a hardware-controlled design, critical decisions, timing, access control, and safety interlocks are enforced by physical circuits, dedicated processing elements, or secure hardware modules. This contrasts with software-controlled systems where the operating system and application code drive behavior.
Common mechanisms include hardware description languages to implement logic in FPGAs or ASICs, microcontrollers or digital
Applications span embedded and real-time systems, automotive safety systems, industrial automation, aerospace, and consumer devices requiring
Overall, hardwarecontrolled architectures emphasize the role of hardware in governing essential behavior, often complementing software with
