Interra Systems Inc., which sells software blocks to EDA vendors and others so they can build commercial design tools, has announced an EDA tools certification program to help tool vendors and SoC/ASIC designers comply with emerging standards. Consortium vows to simplify IP reuse in SoCs A group of EDA, silicon intellectual property (IP) and semiconductor vendors will announce the formation of a consortium at the 40th Design Automation Conference next month that will work to facilitate the integration of IP blocks into system-on-chip (SoC) designs, has learned. The consortium is believed to be working on ways to define "metadata" that goes beyond simple input and output information

IP Cores
Intellectual property (IP) cores are pre-designed, pre-tested, integrated circuits or boards of industry-standard functions that can be easily used in embedded applications. Generally IP cores are treated as intellectual property and are licensed to OEMs.
Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC)
Application specific integrated circuits (ASIC) are electronic chips designed for a particular application.
Electronic Design Automation (EDA) and Electronic Computer-aided Design Software (ECAD)
Electronic design automation (EDA) and electronic computer-aided design software (ECAD) is used to design and develop electronic systems such as printed circuit boards (PCBs) and integrated circuits (ICs).
System on a Chip (SoC)
System on a chip (SoC) devices are semiconductor chips with embedded components that make the chip a standalone system.
Enclosure Air Conditioners
Enclosure air conditioners remove the heat generated by electronic devices from the inside of cabinets or enclosures.
