Hi Rob,

The IsoMax approach seems rather innovative.
I don't have a direct need for such thing on ARM, as I'm quite tied
up with my RF product on MSP430 (but it's ready to port to ARM).

This is something I'd certainly be interested to visit at a later stage.

Another question : Does IsoMax assist with identifying dead states
and the like ? Or is this completely left to the user ?

Some other comments :

Taste again I guess :-)
I prefer it over Verilog because you can have functions.
It is indeed rather verbose though :-)

I'll take a look at this.
So much to learn, so little time :-)
