The nice thing about auto generation is that once you find the error and fix the auto generation then it is fixed forever. Manual errors keep occurring again and again and again. The best shot that we have for a solution is IP-Xact (IEEE-1685). It was created as a design language specifiably to solve these problems.

"Manual" con= figuration from any datasheet is also sensitive to errors. The nice thing a= bout auto generation is that once you find the error and fix the auto gener= ation then it is fixed forever.

Manual errors keep occurr= ing again and again and again.
