RTL (Front End) ToolsProduct DescriptionPlatform Express™, Mentor Graphics’ platform-based design product, enables design creation and verification by automating IP reuse. The product documents all aspects of IP using the IP-XACT™ XML databook format provided through The SPIRIT Consortium. The IP-XACT specification uses XML to create a machine-interpretable IP databook; it includes design information that software tools then use to automatically configure and integrate an IP block into a design. The power of IP-XACT is accessed through generators, which are programs that interpret the IP-XACT data to create design data. Platform Express comes with some of the most sophisticated generators available. These include mixed-language VHDL and Verilog generators that create ready-to-synthesize designs to work on a range of simulators, documentation generators,...
