Schematic of the software framework for the operation of the hardware system. It is integrated into the Python-based, simulator-independent language PyNN, which also supports back-ends like NEURON, NEST and more. The module for the hardware back-end consists of Python-based sub-modules for the digital and analog access to the chip. Each of those wrap the functionality of lower-level C++ layers, which are described in more detail in the text.
