coreBuilder

The coreBuilder product is part of the complete set of IP reuse tools available from Synopsys. With coreBuilder, designers can easily capture all the components of an IP Core, including user configurable design parameters in the core and set the boundaries and cross dependencies of these parameters. Users can also easily capture clock information, define the hierarchy of the core, and set constraints of the internal and external ports contained in the core. This is done in a process-independent format that captures, not only the core, but also the design along with the core developer's detailed knowledge of the core. The core is then packaged into a coreKit with all of the associated design files such as verification files, testbench files and the documentation for the core. IP Packaged with coreBuilder fully supports the IP-XACT specification from The SPIRIT Consortium.
