The schema is built on the existing XML (W3C) standard with a standardized API for generator integration called the Tight Generator Interface (TGI). It is design language neutral, design tool neutral, efficient, and proven. IP-XACT is an XML schema for language and vendor-neutral IP descriptions that includes a generator interface for “plug-in” functionality. This article focuses on the IP-XACT standard, how to build and generate IP-XACT IP, and how to get the IP-XACT view of your components’ configuration. Additionally, we see companies extracting the needed information to build a verification environment. Why an article on IP-XACT? Simple: As more tools support the standard, we see uses in a areas from building configured component documentation (such as register descriptions), to batch flows that can easily re-generate the RTL for a component, subsystem or SoC. Synopsys also provides tools that allow designers to package their own IP and easily integrate it into their design flow. Synopsys DesignWare® digital IP cores fully support this standard with the IP-XACT file generated as a view of the configured core or subsystem. The IEEE-1685 standard (IP-XACT) was designed to fit this requirement. As today’s SoC designs incorporate more IP components and time-to-market pressures rise, designers are looking for a way to build and update designs easily.
