IEEE 1364

IEEE 1364 is like a special building block that helps computers talk to chips inside electronic devices. Just like how you need to use certain words and phrases to talk to your friends, computers need a special language to talk to electronics.

This language is called "Verilog," and it's like a secret code that tells the electronics what to do. IEEE 1364 is the set of rules that tell computers how to use Verilog to talk to the electronics.

Think of it like how you need to follow the rules of a game in order to play it. IEEE 1364 is the set of rules for playing the game of Verilog. By following these rules, the computer can communicate with the electronics in a way that they understand.
