IDS-BatchTM CLI Command-Line Next Generation Semiconductor Specification Automation
The Agnisys IDesignSpecâ„¢ (IDS) Suite provides a complete solution for executable hierarchical specification of the memories, register sets, registers, and register fields in your IP or SoC. You can choose from a variety of input formats. You can import existing descriptions in standard formats such as SystemRDL, IP-XACT, and comma-separated values (CSV) files.
Powerful Register, Memory Editor, SystemVerilog, UVM
You can also specify the registers and memories using Agnisys-supplied templates and Add-Ins for Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, OpenOffice Calc or using the specialized graphical interface of IDesignSpec GDI.
IDS-Batch CLI runs in command-line mode and generates a wide variety of different output files for the teams on your project, supporting design, verification, embedded programming, validation, and documentation.
IDS-Batch CLI fits seamlessly into your SoC or IP development flow, including integration with the Git revision control system to manage both text and graphics files while fostering collaboration.

How IDS-Batch CLI Enhances Your Development Process
Your executable specifications are read by IDS-Batch CLI, supporting the use of simple registers and more than 400 special register types, including indirect, indexed, read-only/write-only, alias, lock, shadow, FIFO, buffer, interrupt, counter, paged, virtual, external, read/write pairs, and combinations of these types.

Automatic generation of files for design, verification, software development, and documentation
From your specifications, IDS-Batch CLI generates output files for your design, verification, software, and documentation teams. It generates the complete RTL description for your registers and memories, including a bus slave and decode logic specific to your selected bus protocol and any clock-domain-crossing (CDC) synchronization logic needed. This enables instant connection of your design to the register bus. Support interfaces include APB, AHB, AHB-Lite, AXI4, AXI4-Lite, TileLink, Avalon, Wishbone, and proprietary buses.
Generation of SystemVerilog, Verilog, VHDL, or SystemC RTL code
The generated SystemVerilog, Verilog, VHDL, or SystemC RTL code for the registers is human-readable with easy-to-follow comments. Your hardware design team simply adds the generated files to their list of hand-written RTL design blocks and third-party IP blocks for use with simulation, logic synthesis, and other tools in the development flow.
IDS-Batch CLI generates a SystemVerilog model compatible with the UVM standard and suitable for inclusion in your UVM testbench. This eliminates a lot of work on the part of your designers and verification team. IDS-Batch CLI helps your embedded programmers as well, by generating C/C++ headers for the memories, registers, and fields. This replaces tedious manual transcription of specification details into code and avoids any chance of errors in the process.
