SystemRDL Alliance Members
SystemRDL Alliance members share a common goal in promoting the standardized usage of SystemRDL in the development and delivery of intellectual property (IP) products used in system-on-chip (SoC) designs.
The SystemRDL Alliance benefits IP providers and SoC designers by providing a common, computer readable format for describing configuration space registers (CSR's) - a storage element used in all semiconductor chips to hold key parameters that define the operation of the chip.

Denali Software Inc. is the world's leading provider of EDA and IP products for deploying standard interfaces in silicon. Denali's Databahn™ IP products provide optimal control and data throughput for DRAM and Flash memory devices. The PureSpec™ and MMAV™ verification IP products support all standard interfaces, including DRAM, Flash, PCI Express, AXI, PLB, USB, Ethernet, SATA, and CE-ATA. Denali's Blueprint product provides a complete solution for design and management of configuration space registers.
"The industry is getting better at recognizing the value of tools and methodologies that span beyond the traditional scope of EDA, to include software, test and documentation. The SystemRDL Alliance supports one such solution, and active participation from experienced IP providers such as Mentor Graphics, MIPS and Rambus is a testament to the value of this program, and makes it easy to deploy across the industry."
Sean Smith, chief verification officer at Denali Software
