Baya - Auto Integration of SoC Components with IP-XACT & Tcl API
The IEEE IP-XACT 1685 standard enables the use of a unified structure for the meta specification of a design, components, interfaces, documentation, interconnection of components, and Memories & Registers. This structure can be used as the basis of both manual and automatic methodologies. IP-XACT specifies the tight generator interface (TGI) for access to the data in a vendor-independent manner.

EDAUtils Offerings
EDAUtils provides complete IP-XACT solution needed in the design organizations dealing with IP creation or IP integration. It offers an intuitive GUI to build IP-XACT Component defintion by reading the ports and parameters from the RTL, instantiating bus interfaces, intuitively mapping ports and parameters, defining MEMORIES, REGITERS and BITFIELDS and their properties resulting in correct by construction. All the actions in the GUI gets saved into equivalent Tcl commands which can be reused later to update the IP-XACT in batch mode. There is a comprehensive Tcl shell which can be used to create & modify any IP-XACT file upto any extent that anyone may need. Apart from this, there are importers and exporters like verilog2ipxact, vhdl2ipxact, ipxact2verilog and ipxact2vhdl; utility to generate documentation from component. Tool to validate IP-XACT and tool to check consistency between IP-XACT Component and it's Verilog Model. Let's know if you need something which can not be achieved through EDAUtils offerings as listed below table.
EDAUtils IP-XACT GUI
The collection of tools and utilities fills a real void in EDA. The baya tool is exactly what we had been looking for to assemble large top-level modules in Verilog. The GUI and high-level TCL commands are intuitive, allowing designers to get started immediately and feel right at home. It was straightforward to quickly reproduce a module previously done with a Perl-to-Verilog utility that was hard to use and maintain. The support from Kanai is excellent. He responds quickly and is a pleasure to deal with. Nice work, Kanai!”-Michael Trocino, IC Design Manager, Coherent Logix "thanks for efficient tools which have been successfully used in our internal wireless design flow. Friendly support has been highly appreciated." -Claudine Raibaut,EDA Manager, Texas Instruments "Baya is a mature production quality tool with features and capabilities beyond those of tools provided by large EDA vendors. It's flexibility is a key reason we have chosen it for use in our Cloud-based platform." -David Fritz, CEO, Social Silicon "Kanai produced an excellent tool set, which is very useful for a complex system-on-chip integration flows. We were skeptical in the beginning, but later got really impressed by a high quality and ease of use. Bridgit IPXACT creator helps us to pack register, bus and module interfaces into a IEEE standard *.xml SPIRIT format to ensure high reusability in the future and protect our investments. I high recommend using Kanai’s products for every system-on-chip manufacturer and invest Venture Capital to support further improvement and commercialization." -Boris V. Kuznetsov Processorpreneur, CEO @ SOCC "Hi Kanai, thanks a lot for creating DesignPlayer and the huge java class lib behind. Even I discoverd only the tip of the iceberg, I got already a lot of my project done. I'm sure there is much more. Your strong support makes me confident to explore more details in future." -Rolf Kemper, Manager, Mixed Signal Design, Renesas Electronics Europe "We were very pleased with your response. The VHDL2Verilog translator worked great, even handling the generate statements in the source VHDL. It met our needs exactly. It was very easy to work with you and you delivered the translator super fast. Thanks for the great support!" -Jerry Frenkil, VP of Engineering, NanoWatt Design "EDAUtils is one (if not the only one) of the most comprehensive tools for SoC design and integration and it is available for free. I included EDAUtils in the latest OpenTech Package as featured application among all free open source designs and tools and I believe with a lot of efforts it will grow to be one of the major tools in this domain."- Jamil Khatib, OpenTech Package
