Abstract

The IP-Xact formalism (IEEE 1685 standard), was introduced to help assemble IP components from distinct sources into an integrated design. Components would be expressed in high-level HDLs such as SystemC, and so should be the full design after composition. Currently, while components exist at SystemC level, they generally do not provide any local IP-Xact structural interface representation. The present contribution studies the difficulties in creating such an IP-Xact interface declaration from SystemC, solves most of them, and provide SystemC modeling guidelines so that a richer set of informations can be recovered and reported into IP-Xact.
