Design of Reusable IP Certification Bench

As the advent of SoC, it appears a quantity of reusable IPs library, which may be from different department of the same corporation or be from IP providers. On one hand in order to use the reusable IPs better in the chip design by IP users, on the other hand IP providers also need evaluate the reusability of the IPs so that they can design high reusable IPs by improving design methodology and design technology, so IPs reusability need to be evaluated and a perfect evaluation system in reusability aspect is also needed. The design and development of reusable IP certification bench is discussed based on the analyses of RMM and OpenMORE, which shortcomings is pointed out and an implementation using database and Visual Basic 6.0 is presented, in the end solving ways of some key technology about ADO technology and tree view in the system is presented.
