Aspect-oriented programming methods today have gained a significant following in the area of object-oriented high-level programming languages since their invention more than ten years ago. More recent developments have also found use cases for AOP in procedural programming languages operating at the system programming level. However, if one digs further down towards the hardware layer, only few signs of AOP usage can be found so far. This paper motivates the use of aspect-oriented approaches in hardware development, which today is mostly done in domain-specific hardware description languages (HDLs). These languages deviate from the programming language model by providing explicit notions for concurrency and time, resulting in synthesizable circuit descriptions that can be turned into a piece of hardware. A survey of crosscutting concerns in hardware descriptions and a first definition of join-points and pointcuts for HDLs is augmented by an aspect-related analysis of a production-quality hardware component and an overview of current developments regarding AOP and hardware development.
