The SPIRIT Consortium is a group of vendors and users of electronic design automation (EDA) tools, defining standards for the exchange of System-on-a-chip (SoC) design information.〔(Schemas of The SPIRIT Consortium )〕 The standards defined so far are IP-XACT, an XML schema for vendor-neutral descriptions of design components, and SystemRDL, a language for describing registers in components.〔(Register description format gets 'Spirit' of standardization, Richard Goering, EE Times (05/21/2007 6:00 AM EDT) )〕 In June 2009 it was announced that SPIRIT would merge with another EDA standards organization, Accellera.〔("EDA Standards Organizations Accellera and The SPIRIT Consortium Announce Plans to Merge" ), press release, Accellera. June 11, 2009〕 SPIRIT stood for "Structure for Packaging, Integrating and Re-using IP within Tool-flows". == Membership == There are four levels of membership in the SPIRIT consortium. The ''Board of Directors'' (BoD) is the ruling body.〔(Board of Directors )〕 Current members are: * ARM Holdings * Cadence Design Systems * Freescale Semiconductor * LSI Corporation * Mentor Graphics * NXP Semiconductors * STMicroelectronics * Synopsys * Texas Instruments ''Contributing members'' perform the standardization work and donate time and effort to the production of new specifications.〔(Contributing Members )〕 ''Reviewing member'' status is a free membership for companies. These get early access to specifications to facilitate a deep review round of each proposal before it goes public.〔(Associate Members )〕 ''Associate member'' status is similar to a reviewing membership but for academics and other not-for-profit organizations.〔(Reviewing Members )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「SPIRIT Consortium」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
