What are important factors when selecting Intellectual Property?

Nov 08, 2005 2 Replies

First of all I want to appologise if this is a bit off topic, but I think the people with the best expertise will be in this group.



I'm currently doing some research into Intellectual Property for SoC designs and just wanted to get a feal for the things that are important to people who actually purcahse/use IP. For example support from the vendor after sale seems to be important from people I have already spoken to.



I'm also interested in things that you think are missing from IP that would help integrate that IP into a design i.e. better test information, quality of the design etc.



Any comments on this would be greatly appreciated.



Kind Regards

The top of my list would be a clean design. In particular, the interface to your block of logic.

The suespammers.org mail server is located in California. So are all my other mailboxes. Please do not send unsolicited bulk e-mail or unsolicited commercial e-mail to my suespammers.org address or any of my other addresses. These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's. I hate spam.

Correctness is important, and also clear and correct documentation. (You would think this was implied, but...)
