From 0c04787fd338ec60b238e48734c81ee1ad3263de Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: darius-bluespec Date: Thu, 18 Apr 2024 21:33:14 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Remove incorrect definition of 'system' (#157) Remove the overly prescriptive definition of the word system from the glossary. The word 'system' is used throughout the document with various differing meanings. In addition to being inconsistent with each other, the various meanings do not follow the definition in the glossary. --- intro.adoc | 1 - 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/intro.adoc b/intro.adoc index a87c9bf..c6a58be 100644 --- a/intro.adoc +++ b/intro.adoc @@ -63,6 +63,5 @@ Most terminology has the standard RISC-V meaning.
