In order to configure specific components in a hardware system they have to be uniquely identifiable. halco provides a coordinate system for the neuromorphic BrainScaleS platform. In combination with the associated configurational data (halbe for BrainScaleS-1 and haldls for BrainScaleS-2) they provide the basis to configure the neuromorphic system.

More information about the design principle of halco can be found in the documentation. The raw version can be found in this repository. A compiled version is hosted on github pages.
