Abstract
Not all components of embedded systems need to be designed from scratch. Instead, there are standard components that can be reused. These components comprise knowledge from earlier design efforts and constitute intellectual property (IP). IP reuse is one key technique in coping with the increasing complexity of designs. The term “IP reuse” frequently denotes the reuse of hardware.
