IP-XACT
IP-XACT is an XML format that defines and describes individual, re-usable electronic circuit designs (individual pieces of intellectual property, or IPs) to facilitate their use in creating integrated circuits (i.e. ''microchips''). IP-XACT was created by the SPIRIT Consortium as a standard to enable automated configuration and integration through tools. The goals of the standard are * to ensure delivery of compatible component descriptions from multiple component vendors, * to enable exchanging complex component libraries between electronic design automation (EDA) tools for SoC design (design environments), * to describe configurable components using metadata, and * to enable the provision of EDA vendor-neutral scripts for component creation and configuration (generators, configurators).
