Features
- Import your existing IPs as IP-XACT components
- Create new IP-XACT components and generate their HDL module headers
- Reuse IP-XACT files from any standard compatible vendor
- Reuse the IPs in your designs and connect them with wires and buses
- Create multilevel hierarchies, where a design has multiple sub-designs
- Configure component instances in designs, including the sub-designs
- Use generator plugins to create HDL with wiring and parameterization
- Use memory designer to preview memory maps and address spaces in your hierarchy
- Package software to IP-XACT components and map them to hardware
- Generate makefiles that build executables with rules defined in IP-XACT components

Very interesting stuff. Do you handle models that were written in SystemC?

Thank you, jchap2k. We are introducing transactional elements bit-by-bit and the module sources can be included in file sets as any other implementation files. SystemC file import and generation are postponed until later. -
Good work:)
