Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for integrated circuit design using integrated circuit shells. For example, a system may generate an integrated circuit core design expressed in a hardware description language. The integrated circuit core design may express circuitry that describes one or more functions to be included in an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC). The one or more functions may have connection points providing first inputs and outputs to the one or more functions. The system may query an integrated circuit shell expressed in a hardware description language. The integrated circuit shell may express circuitry that describes a limited set of pads to be implemented in the ASIC. The limited set of pads may provide second inputs and outputs to the integrated circuit. The query may determine availability of pads of the limited set of pads to connect to the connection points of the one or more functions.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods that include integrated circuit generation with composable interconnect. In some implementations, a system may access a design parameters data structure that specifies an interconnect topology to be included in an integrated circuit. The system may invoke an integrated circuit design generator that applies the design parameters data structure, including with the interconnect topology. In some implementations, the design parameters data structure may specify a definition for a hardware object (e.g., the interconnect topology) and instances of the hardware object. The definition and the instances may each be modifiable. The system may invoke the generator to apply the design parameters data structure to generate the design.

Abstract: A device for enhancing the chance of conception is disclosed.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for generation and testing of integrated circuit designs with clock crossings between clock domains and reset crossings between reset domains. These may allow for the rapid design and testing (e.g. silicon testing) of processors and SoCs. Clock crossings may be automatically generated between modules, inferring the values of design parameters, such as a signaling protocol (e.g. a bus protocol), directionality, and/or a clock crossing type (e.g., synchronous, rational divider, or asynchronous), of a clock crossing. Reset crossings may be automatically generated in a similar manner. For example, implicit classes may be used to generate clock crossings or reset crossings in a flexible manner. For example, these system and methods may be used to rapidly connect a custom processor design, including one or more IP cores, to a standard input/output shell for a SoC design to facilitate rapid silicon testing of the custom processor design.
