Warren Savage On: Waiting for Godot

Just to let you know that the seventh instalment of Warren Savage's monthly column on Semiconductor IP is already live on the site - Warren Savage On: Waiting for Godot

He explains why to respond to a practical problem with real solutions without waiting for others to lead the way is a glimpse into our future. ...

He begins:
In this most celebrated play of the 20th century, two tramps patiently wait by a tree for days for someone named Godot to arrive, making excuses for idleness ("nothing to do") while they wait. Not even sure what Godot will do for them when he arrives, they continue to wait, anticipate, reflect, argue, dream, and wait some more. Of course, Godot never arrives.
In our own industries we can find it easy to wait for others instead of taking action to solve problems that are meaningful to us. In the semiconductor IP space, we have waited for many years for the emergence of standards around the development and use of IP.
Read the full column, which explains why what is inspiring about NXP's CoReUse story is not that it represents some break-through technology but rather its action-oriented nature.
