Re: IP Purchase List
So you mean -I should add the following to the list
1- Micro Architecture Documentation which describes the architecture of the coded RTL.
2- Testbench Description Documentation.
I think the first two item would help in getting an overview about the design logic architecture for the basic buliding blocks and how they are integrated together to function.
It is a human-read for the coded Verilog RTL.
The second item will help in descriping what the test is doing and helps in following the flow of data,control and etc..
Now, What about the Synthesis.?
The deliverable from this acquired company to customers are Synopsys DC synthesis Scripts.
In our company we don't have synopsys. So if we get Syn DC or any other tool ; what Kind of Documentation would I ask them for to help me in understanding the Synthesis process.
I think when I deliver for a customer he should have the right to support his synthesis using any tool ; so what documentation or stuff to ask for to help me in Synthesizing the IPs list on any platform and using any tool including the Syn Dc which I have scripts for ...
Please Do participate with your comments as it is very helpful for me ..
LET ME ADD TO MY LIST ... This is a very common Problem in IP industry and I need to know how can designers face it ?
