The SPIRIT Consortium Starts a Web-based Video Forum to Demonstrate Adoption of IP-XACT Specification
-- Demos on Demand becomes Reviewing Member--
SAN JOSE,
Calif.,
“An online video forum is a fantastic educational
channel for The SPIRIT Consortium,” said Chris Lennard, vice president and
marketing committee chair, The SPIRIT Consortium. “This collaboration with Demos on Demand will
allow our members and the global engineering public to learn about IP-XACT
adoption efforts in production design tools and flows today.”
“Our relationship with The SPIRIT Consortium reflects our strategy of
aligning with the premiere companies and efforts in the EDA and semiconductor
markets,” said Steve Kompolt, vice president of sales and marketing for Demos on
Demand.
The online presentations hosted by Demos on Demand provide
a detailed summary of the following technologies:
- ARM: Eliminating the error-prone
transfer of designs between tools by using IP-XACT to automatically
link system-level design tools RealView® SoC Designer and AMBA
Designer into hardware implementation and debug flows
- Beach Solutions: A commercially available
System-on-Chip and system integration acceleration flow using components
and designs assured to conform to IP-XACT
- Denali: System-level register design
and management capabilities of the Blueprint SystemRDL™
Compiler as it relates to consuming and producing IP-XACT XML
- Duolog: Enabling an interoperable
design flow for complex SoCs including register management, IP
capture, SoC IP assembly and IO resolution
- Improv Systems: How configuration information
is used to generate complete system descriptions in IP-XACT in order
to design and verify the Jazz Composer platform
- Magillem Design Services: A
fast and fully automated IP-XACT packaging process for an SDRAM memory
controller
- MataiTech: Auto-generation of
documentation, C/C++ HAL, SystemC, IP-XACT linting and semantic checking
via MataiTech’s flagship tool, NAUET
- Mentor Graphics: How the IP-XACT XML databook
format can be used to automate the construction of designs and
transaction-level testbenches employing advanced verification
methodologies
- NXP: Multi-vendor tool integration
that shows current capabilities for RTL design using IP-XACT, and
some early capabilities enabled by upcoming features of IP-XACT with
ESL Extensions
- Scarlet Code: How to create IP-XACT
descriptions straight from legacy IP, parsing information straight from
RTL files and PDF documents, creating IP-XACT files in seconds, using
Component Foundry
- Synopsys: The creation of an AMBA® 3
IP-Subsystem containing DesignWare® Cores and verified with the AMBA 3
Assured Verification IP
Over the coming year, The SPIRIT Consortium
will be actively promoting its IP-XACT adoption message by using Web-based
video of various commercial products that are supplied by member companies.
