A component library for IP core based system level design automation

Resent years, IP reuse has become a key factor for SoC design productivity improvement. A standard component library with a certain scale is crucial to the whole process of IP reuse. In this paper, we present a complete design and implementation of a component library which supports the system level design automation. The main contribution of this paper contains two aspects: first, it establishes the data structure for the reusable component, and the data structure contains the data needed in system level design; second, it describes the design and realization of the tool to manage the component library
