Abstract
Apparatus and methods for integrated circuit (IC) design, including management of the configuration, design parameters, and functionality of a design in which custom instructions or other design elements may be controlled by the designer. In one exemplary embodiment, a computer program rendered in an object-oriented language implementing the aforementioned methods for designing user-customized digital processors is disclosed. Design iteration, component encapsulation, use of human-readable file formats, extensible dynamic GUIs and tool sets, and other features are employed to enhance the functionality and accessibility of the program. Components within the design environment comprise encapsulated objects which contain information relating to interfaces with other components in the design, hierarchy, and other facets of the design process.
