Process module: Hardware Development

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

Activity: Integrating into Hardware Component

Purpose

A »Hardware Component is part of a »Hardware Unit. Hardware components may be subdivided hierarchically into additional hardware components. »Hardware Modules are on the lowest level of the component hierarchy. An example for a hardware component is the printed board assembly of the unit processor printed wiring board. The »Hardware Developer is responsible for integrating the hardware process modules into a hardware component and for integrating hardware components into additional hardware components.
