Abstract

A Soft-Cores design reuse methodology requires a hierarchical database approach and a new wave of specific tools for exploiting them in heterogeneous and network distributed frameworks. The differences between Soft-Cores, particularly VHDL ones, and software-like build and reuse processes set up the platform for proposing the VHDL-ICE environment as one feasible solution for an adequate adoption of the proposed approach. The availability of frameworks like this for supporting EDA on Internet will ease the establishment of a mature adoption of Soft-Cores design reuse in the intranets and the internet, as part of a Semiconductor Knowledge management policy.
