Process module: Hardware Development

Responsible: Hardware Developer (when using process module Hardware Development)

Activity: Realizing Hardware Module

Purpose

A »Hardware Module is on the lowest level of the system element hierarchy. In contrast to other hardware elements, it is realized concretely. A hardware module is part of a »Hardware Component. It is not subidivided further in a hierarchical manner. Examples for a hardware process include A/D conversion functions, processing elements or interface elements of a component, e.g. of an unprogrammed printed board assembly. The »Hardware Developer is responsible for realizing a hardware module.
