Overview of IP Packaging Background Most automated IP integration flows are not truly automated. Only a small number of connections typically well-defined bus interfaces are automatically supported. The majority of interconnections must be made manually or via low-level scripted commands. This approach offers little or no productivity gains over purely manual flows and has very limited potential for reuse. Managing incremental changes as the system evolves is difficult and time-consuming. To resolve the issue, efficient migration to an IP based methodology and flow first requires capture of legacy IP libraries in a technology independent format, using an easy-to-use, scalable and automated process. The goal of this first step is to package all the components of an IP library into XML files in accordance with the IP-XACT schema (standarized as IEEE1685), which describes the syntax and semantic rules for the description of three kinds of elements: the bus definitions, the component...
