4、 checks for eXtensible Markup Language (XML) data designed to describeelectronic systems are formulated by this standard. The meta-data forms that are standardizedinclude components, systems, bus interfaces and connections, abstractions of those buses, anddetails of the components including address
5、maps, register and field descriptions, and file setdescriptions for use in automating design, verification, documentation, and use flows for electronicsystems. A set of XML schemas of the form described by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)and a set of semantic consistency rules (SCRs) are included
6、. A generator interface that is portableacross tool environments is provided. The specified combination of methodology-independentmeta-data and the tool-independent mechanism for accessing that data provides for portability ofdesign data, design methodologies, and environment implementations.Keyword

10、), both full-use and trial-use, aredeveloped within IEEE Societies and the Standards Coordinating Committees of the IEEE StandardsAssociation (“IEEE-SA”) Standards Board. IEEE (“the Institute”) develops its standards through aconsensus development process, approved by the American National Standards
11、 Institute (“ANSI”), whichbrings together volunteers representing varied viewpoints and interests to achieve the final product.Volunteers are not necessarily members of the Institute and participate without compensation from IEEE.While IEEE administers the process and establishes rules to promote fa
12、irness in the consensus developmentprocess, IEEE does not independently evaluate, test, or verify the accuracy of any of the information or thesoundness of any judgments contained in its standards.IEEE does not warrant or represent the accuracy or content of the material contained in its standards,
13、andexpressly disclaims all warranties (express, implied and statutory) not included in this or any otherdocument relating to the standard, including, but not limited to, the warranties of: merchantability; fitnessfor a particular purpose; non-infringement; and quality, accuracy, effectiveness, curre
14、ncy, or completenessof material. In addition, IEEE disclaims any and all conditions relating to: results; and workmanlike effort.IEEE standards documents are supplied “AS IS” and “WITH ALL FAULTS.”Use of an IEEE standard is wholly voluntary. The existence of an IEEE standard does not imply that ther
15、eare no other ways to produce, test, measure, purchase, market, or provide other goods and services related tothe scope of the IEEE standard. Furthermore, the viewpoint expressed at the time a standard is approved andissued is subject to change brought about through developments in the state of the
16、art and commentsreceived from users of the standard. In publishing and making its standards available, IEEE is not suggesting or rendering professional or otherservices for, or on behalf of, any person or entity nor is IEEE undertaking to perform any duty owed by anyother person or entity to another
17、. Any person utilizing any IEEE Standards document, should rely upon hisor her own independent judgment in the exercise of reasonable care in any given circumstances or, asappropriate, seek the advice of a competent professional in determining the appropriateness of a given IEEEstandard.IN NO EVENT

20、nvolves the review of documents in English only. In the eventthat an IEEE standard is translated, only the English version published by IEEE should be considered theapproved IEEE standard.Official statements A statement, written or oral, that is not processed in accordance with the IEEE-SA Standards
21、 BoardOperations Manual shall not be considered or inferred to be the official position of IEEE or any of itscommittees and shall not be considered to be, or be relied upon as, a formal position of IEEE. At lectures,symposia, seminars, or educational courses, an individual presenting information on
22、IEEE standards shallmake it clear that his or her views should be considered the personal views of that individual rather than theformal position of IEEE. Comments on standardsComments for revision of IEEE Standards documents are welcome from any interested party, regardless ofmembership affiliation
23、 with IEEE. However, IEEE does not provide consulting information or advicepertaining to IEEE Standards documents. Suggestions for changes in documents should be in the form of aproposed change of text, together with appropriate supporting comments. Since IEEE standards represent aconsensus of conce
24、rned interests, it is important that any responses to comments and questions also receivethe concurrence of a balance of interests. For this reason, IEEE and the members of its societies andStandards Coordinating Committees are not able to provide an instant response to comments or questionsexcept i
25、n those cases where the matter has previously been addressed. For the same reason, IEEE does notrespond to interpretation requests. Any person who would like to participate in revisions to an IEEEstandard is welcome to join the relevant IEEE working group.Comments on standards should be submitted to

48、ponents and designs within an electronicsystem. The goals of this specification are to enable delivery of compatible IP descriptions from multiple IPvendors; to improve the importing and exporting of complex IP bundles to, from, and between EDA toolsfor system on chip (SoC) design environments (DEs)
49、; to improve the expression of configurable IP by usingIP meta-data; and to improve the provision of EDA vendor-neutral IP creation and configuration scripts(generators). The data and data access specification is designed to coexist and enhance the hardwaredescription languages (HDLs) presently used by designers while providing capabilities lacking in thoselanguages.The SPIRIT Consortium, which originally developed the IP-XACT standard before merging with Accellera,was a consortium of electronic system, IP provider, semiconductor, and EDA companies.
