Synplicity Talks About Its ReadyIP Initiative
Synplicity, a supplier of innovative IC design and verification solutions, has announced the ReadyIP Initiative, a program that aim at simplifying the access, evaluation, and use of intellectual property (IP) for FPGA-based system design.
The ReadyIP initiative comprises a number of key elements. These include standards-based IP encryption with rights management to facilitate easy evaluation of IP; the System Designer, a new technology-independent IP integration capability that is now part of Synplicity’s synthesis products; “push-button” Internet access to third-party IP directly from within Synplicity’s FPGA design environment; and the use of the SPIRIT Consortium’s IP–XACT IP packaging format to enable mix and match of IP from a variety of sources including the use of in-house IP.
The ReadyIP flow encompasses support for the SPIRIT Consortium’s IP-XACT industry standard specification for integration and configuration of IP, as well as support for Synplicity’s OpenIP encryption methodology that allows IP providers to securely deploy their IP to potential and existing customers. Synplicity has donated this encryption methodology to the IEEE and standardization is now officially in process through the IEEE P1735 Working Group, claimed the company.
Synplicity also said that its ReadyIP initiative is being endorsed and supported by leading IP vendors. ARM, CAST, Gaisler Research and Tensilica are partnering with Synplicity as charter members in this initiative. Selected secure IP from these vendors, that universally target multiple FPGA devices, will be available through this new program.
