VSIA Publicly Releases Updated Hard and Soft IP Tagging Standards; Freescale donates tag reader/writer to VSIA
The VSIA Hard IP and Soft IP Tagging standards are products of the organizations’ IP Protection (IPP) Pillar. These standards allow for designers to retain IP core information throughout the entire design process and ensure proper versions of the core have been integrated into the design.
Updates to the Hard IP Tagging Standard include:
Additional required key words for IP_Owner, Techno, Spec Version, Date and Time, and others
The Soft IP Tagging Standard was updated to reflect the Hard IP Tagging updates.
“Freescale developed the tag reader/writer for internal use and have found it extremely useful for version control and tracking an IP core throughout the design process,” said Renny Eisele, Director of IP Management at Freescale Semiconductor. “We decided to donate it to VSIA to encourage industry wide adoption of the hard and soft IP tags.”
The Tag IP Software (TIPS) donated to VSIA by Freescale enables users to utilize a common user interface to read and write tags into physical designs independent of the EDA tool used. The text tag information is maintained using an XML schema, easing the user interface and ensures that the tags are correct by construct. TIPS is composed of key components tagengine, gdstag, gift-lite and tips.il. The software is implemented in perl and the complete perl implementation for Linux® kernel and Solaris™ operating system is provided. The Tips.pm perl module is a key building block of the system.
