Title
Generic integration infrastructure for IP-based design processes and tools with a unified XML format
Abstract
In the field of IP-based design, a SoC designer usually searches for IPs and after he has purchased some, he needs to further process them before they can be included in existing designs. Since IP providers use different formats and design tools require different parts of the IP for their services it is hard to find an IP description format that satisfies and is exchangeable between all parties. This paper presents such a unified format. It can be used to search for, deliver and exchange IPs between the designer and external IP service providers. An integration infrastructure based on the format was implemented and evaluated. The results prove its applicability.
