This is why we can't have nice things. Sigh.

Of course, "fix it in software" is cheaper. Sigh.

I know, I know, crap happens. But a review of something that basic should have been caught by someone at an earlier stage.

Had they used random constrained testing (property based testing/quickcheck for the HW world) on the HDL for their design, this likely wouldn't have gotten past even the initial review phase.

Well, that is the point of software, to change quicker and cheaper.
