IP Management Making Design Reuse Work

IP Management making design reuse work

IP Management • Design & reuse IPs

Design Planning • Determine top level blocks • Re-use across blocks • Determine external IP needs • Software/hardware partitioning

Chip Assembly • Top level integration • Front end design • Physical Implementation • Tapeout

Meet SoC design timelines

Produce • Increase IP sharing

Shop • Make it easy to find IP & identify suitability Consume

• Make IP reuse easy and mitigate risk

How can we manage access controls for the IPs?

How do we produce and How do you ensure the support internally quality of the IP? developed IPs?

How do we manage 3rd What is the party IPs ? maintenance overhead in a tool for IP mgmt.?

Buy standards based IPs – USBs, MIPI, PCIe etc. and What sort of investment develop core technology IPs is needed for an IP mgmt. ? system?

Any data management platform – SOS, Perforce, Subversion, Git Produce Interfaces with commonly used issue tracking systems trac Bugzilla

Access Controls to manage IP access

Ability to qualify IPs

Flexible - Easy to use, customize & administer; Track Consume Store any type of attributes specific to your needs

Generate reports as needed

Provide communication channels between the developers & users

Produce  Energize designers to share & reuse designs  Create new IPs & package along with test suite, scripts, results  Update existing IPs with bug fixes, enhancements  Classify IPs into various categories as needed; Apply keywords for search  Add supporting data from EDA tools  Support IPs as needed

Store  Qualify IPs before uploading into the repository  Publish IPs and notify registered users  Set access controls as needed for IPs  Communicate updated IPs to users using it

 Consum Easy shopping experience e ● Make finding IP across an enterprise easy ● Powerful search capability Easily determine IP suitability ● Design attributes, data sheets, arch & verification specs ● Pedigree ● Check the IP lineage ● Revision/release history ● Issues & defects Compare multiple versions of the same IP Track open issues against an IP & its resolution Collaborate & discuss with other users of the IP
