Hi,
IP-XACT is a very useful way to capture IP information, and make it easy to integrate into a chip; there's now some open-source software for doing so.

And UVM is also very useful.

But opencores doesn't have IP-XACT files for the IP, nor UVM models or examples.

I'm trying to find out the level of interest for all three, and also if someone could contact me on the best way to add them to the opencores libraries.

Regards,

Erik,

I maintain the socgen project project on opencores which is a design-for-reuse toolset that uses IP-Xact.

There is also the funbase library that uses IP-Xact.

Of course funbase is all vhdl and socgen is all verilog so they really can't work together but at least it's a start.

BTW: if you do plan on creating your own IP-Xact files then be sure to use a valid URL for your Vendor name. Funbase used their school initials of TUT as a vendor name and this will cause problems if the Egyptian boy king releases his own line of IP.
