[comp.lang.vhdl] MIL-STD-454

I have heard that changes have been made to MIL-STD-454 Requirment 64 requiring
the use of VHDL for ASICs when performing board or subsystem simulations. The
current requirement 64 states that ASICs designed after 30 Sept. 1988 be
documented by means of structural and behavioral VHDL. Also I heard rumblings
about all digital qualified devices for use in board level designs shall have a
VHDL model. Clearly not all qualified commercial parts have VHDL models. The
intent of this seems to be a requirement for VHDL for boards as well as ASICs.

Any specific information on this would be appreciated.
