Re: What's the meaning of 'assert' and 'deassert' ?

Given the copious context you've provided, this is just a guess:



assert: set a signal to its "active" state.



deassert: set a signal to its "inactive state.



If a signal is active-low, "asserting" that signal means setting it low and deasserting it means setting it high.
