IP-XACT, the standard structure for packaging, integrating, and reusing IP within tool flows is coming back on track with a kick-off meeting on Friday 27th August. IP-XACT, initially known as SPIRIT, was driven by the Spirit Consortium to help standardize IP packaging, integration and reuse. In June 2009, the IP-XACT 1.5 definition was handed over to the IEEE P1685 Working Group and was approved pproved as IEEE 1685-2009 on December 9, 2009 and published on February 18, 2009. The Spirit consortium then merged with Accellera and and now all IP-XACT activities are to be handled under Accellera.
The principle to activate the IP-XACT Technical Committee was accepted by the Accellera Board in DAC, thanks to Francois Remond, ST.
The inital agenda is to explore the setup of the new group within Accellera, with a key aim, to bring the standard to the next level.
If you are interested in streamlining IP integration and want to improve the standard then please get involved. Please contact Rohit Jindal (rohit.jindal@st.com) for more information.
