February 2026 (2026-02) monthly summary for analogdevicesinc/hdl. Delivered two main capabilities in the corundum library: 1) CODEOWNERS Governance Update to reflect new ownership for the corundum library (commit 8b11dead8360ef393223340d3841ecb7006b1b19). 2) XCVU11P hardware support added to corundum scripts, including new board configurations and pin mappings, with a refactor to improve readability and maintainability (commit ba8dcad5b64bc329e7fc67151010a8edd1bc20ca). These changes improve governance, accelerate hardware onboarding, and reduce future maintenance toil. No major bugs fixed this month. Business value includes clearer ownership, streamlined hardware support for new FPGA parts, and more maintainable automation scripts. Technologies/skills demonstrated: code ownership governance, hardware configuration and pin mapping, scripting refactor and maintainability, signed-off commits for traceability.

For 2025-01, delivered documentation improvements for HDL testbenches in analogdevicesinc/testbenches. Created a dedicated HDL Testbench Creation/Editing Documentation Page and updated the user guide index to reference it. This work improves onboarding, consistency in testbench setup (creation, configurations, and block design modifications), and overall maintainability of the testbenches repository.
