Your Complete Solution for Register & Memory Management
Effective HW/SW integration is one of the biggest challenges facing System-on-Chip (SoC) development teams. Registers and memory-maps are at the heart of the HW/SW interface. Socrates Bitwise manages the entire register and memory-map infrastructure for an IP or system, improving inter-team communications, enhancing design quality and greatly reducing workload.
Your Solution

 |
Socrates Bitwise manages HW/SW register, memory-map and interface definitions for IPs, subsystems or SoCs. Bitwise provides a single-source specification for register and memory-map information from which all design, verification, software and integration teams auto-generate the views they require, thereby remaining perfectly synchronized at all times. Bitwise enhances inter-team communications, increases levels of flow automation and significantly reduces development schedules. Bitwise provides a comprehensive environment that supports architectural planning, IP import, IP creation, and view generation. The result is a complete solution for HW/SW interface management that eliminates an entire category of bugs from your systems.
Bitwise Features
- Fully interoperable solution supporting import of standard formats including IP-XACT, Excel, VHDL / Verilog
- Customizable importers to support customer-specific or other legacy formats
- Comprehensive suite of standard output generators for hardware, verification & software code and documentation
- Supports customization of standard generators or creation of customer-specific generators using a variety of common languages including Freemarker, Python and Perl
- Comprehensive data model supporting configurable IP and multiple operational modes, in addition to ports, interfaces, register groups & arrays, complex access types and memories
