The Open Core Protocol's unique flexibility, configurability and scalability characteristics enable integrators to build complex systems for high-performance domains A complete standardization process ...

Current specification flows often use standard text processors to capture formal register and memory map information of hardware designs along with other less formal types of specification text.

This document presents an IP-XACT deployment case on a complex IP, called IZARN. IZARN is a digital IP which includes an ARM CPU and is targeted to be used in a SoC (System on Chip) for mobile phones.

With more IP components and growing time to market pressures, designers are looking for a way to build and update SoC designs easily. IEEE1685 (IP-XACT) was designed to fit this requirement and ...

Second of two parts: The creation of tools and standards for IP integration is progressing at a snail’s pace, but there is hope. New standards and fabrication methodologies may cause a disruption. IP ...
