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 ...

In a previous article, Getting started in structured assembly in complex SoC designs, an unexceptional system-on-chip (SoC) design was shown to contain hundreds of intellectual property (IP) blocks.

In this article, we outline a flow, based around industry proven and emerging 'capture and auto generation' EDA solutions, which results in seamless interoperability between disparate tools and ...
