BOSTON, MA – December 4, 2018 – Agnisys Inc., a leader in Electronic Design Automation, and provider of the industry’s most comprehensive tools and methodologies for specifying the Hardware/Software Interface (HSI), announces its entry into the Xilinx® Alliance Program.
Joining the Xilinx worldwide ecosystem of qualified companies offering IP cores, EDA and Embedded solutions, engineering services and boards/kits, Agnisys aids system designers in the rapid and low-risk integration of Xilinx FPGAs, SoCs and Intellectual Property, by simplifying the process of specification and verification of the HSI.
New Hardware/Software Co-design for Zynq™ SoCs and MPSoCs
While the HSI is one of the most crucial areas of SoC development, the process is often fragmented from the start, making debugging the HSI time consuming and error-prone. As a solution, co-designing the HSI by multiple teams as a single activity within a single environment is often recommended.
IDesignSpec™ integrated with the latest release of Vivado™ both provide a seamless development process for specifying addressable registers, memories, and interrupts, and verifying them with the automatically generated RTL and test sequences for the software application.
“Highly requested by several of our Xilinx Zynq users, we were able to assist them in completing several designs in record time without any HSI issues,” stated by Anupam Bakshi, Agnisys Founder, and CEO. “Both of their HW and SW teams were able to efficiently edit and verify the HSI within the same platform provided by IDesignSpec.”
About IDesignSpec
IDesignSpec is an award-winning product that helps IP/SoC Design architects and engineers to create an executable specification for registers and automatically generate output for SW/HW teams. The specifications can be written in Microsoft® Word™ or Excel™, LibreOffice™ with IDesignSpec editor Plugin or text-based industry standard formats like SystemRDL, RALF, IP-XACT. IDesignSpec captures simple as well as special registers, signals, interrupts, and then generates synthesizable RTL code and interfaces to ARM AMBA® buses like AXI, AHB, APB, AHB3Lite and other standard buses.

Overcoming the weaknesses of traditional natural language specifications requires writing the specifications in a precise format rather than natural language, and making this format executable so that tools can generate as many files as possible for the design, verification, programming, validation, and documentation teams.
