Agnisys announces free download of a smart IP Documentation tool

Lowell, MA – June 15 2009 - Agnisys Inc. today announced a free version of its flagship product IDesignSpec^TM, for hardware development. IDesignSpec^TM reduces the effort required to create hardware specifications and provides for the management of register data throughout the design process. Correct-by-construction code is generated from the specification without requiring manual effort. IDesignSpec^TM makes documenting the designs a more useful exercise as it keeps the code and the specification always in sync.

“We would like users to experience, first hand, how easy it is to use this tool without the need to learn a new language or GUI. It streamlines your documentation and generates consistent code. All this while knowing that your all important data is under your complete control, stored in an international standard format”, said Anupam Bakshi, CEO of Agnisys, Inc.

IDesignSpec enables design teams to create specification for IP and SoCs and automatically generate several views such as VHDL, Verilog, SystemVerilog, C/C++ header files, IP-XACT, SystemRDL, testbench code, and documentation in various formats. This saves time and improves quality and time-to-market for developing IP and SoCs.

The free version is available as an OpenOffice.org extension from the OpenOffice.org’s extension site. It enables users to use the editor to create IP specification and check consistency errors on data entry right in the document. It is available from http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/idesignspec

The paid version enables complete SoC development and generates many more derived views.
