The SPIRIT Consortium officially incorporated as an open, independent, California non-profit organization in July 2006 to enable rapid, reliable deployment of IP into advanced design environments. The SPIRIT Consortium’s ESL-based IP-XACT 1.5 specification expands the range of IP that can be used in an IP-XACT Design Environment and targets new applications, specifically those dealing with transactional modeling and advanced verification methodologies. By using an IP-XACT Design Environment, designers can automatically create many different expressions of a design in a consistent and correlated way. IP-XACT 1.5 was handed off to the IEEE P1685 Working Group in late June 2009.

Accellera, an industry organization formed in 2000, provides design and verification standards for quick availability and use in the electronics industry. The organization and its members cooperatively deliver much-needed EDA standards that lower the cost of designing commercial IC and EDA products. As a result of Accellera’s partnership with the IEEE, Accellera standards are transferred to the IEEE standards body for formalization and ongoing change control. For more information About Accellera, please visit www.accellera.org |
Accellera and The SPIRIT Consortium, merger. The new organization takes on the Accellera name and will continue to develop electronic design language-based and Intellectual Property (IP) standards of benefit to the electronics industry. The new organization is aligned on the path to create formal standards through the IEEE, and currently has eight standardization subcommittees operating. These standards include: SystemRDL (Register Description Language), IPtagging, Interface Technical Committee (ITC), Open Verification Library (OVL), Unified Coverage Interoperability (UCI), Verilog Analog/Mixed Signal (AMS), Verification IP (VIP) and IP-XACT.
