Register Manager Visual Editor Interface

Register Manager is a commercial-grade register management tool developed by Jade Design Automation, specifically designed for hardware/software interface design in System-on-Chip (SoC) development. It programmatically captures and validates the HW/SW interface of SoCs for data integrity, then generates RTL, Verification, Documentation, and Software deliverables in seconds.

Positioned as a superior alternative to in-house scripted solutions, Register Manager delivers the same performance and flexibility while eliminating the maintenance burden and scalability risks associated with internal tools. It enables engineering teams to focus on high-value work rather than maintaining infrastructure.

Key Features

Performance & Flexibility Captures, validates, and generates Verilog, UVM, C-headers, and documentation for a full IoT SoC in seconds. Shell mode available for power users.
Visual Editor Rich, intuitive GUI with full keyboard support and focus traversal for efficient data capture.
Import & Migration Powerful import API with built-in IP-XACT and SystemRDL importers. Custom format migration supported via API.
IoT & Security Out-of-box support for Arm TrustZone®, v8-M architecture security attributes, and secure/non-secure memory map region separation.
Lightweight Deployment Minimal disk space and memory footprint.
Licensing Flexibility Node-locked and floating licenses, self-hosted and cloud-hosted servers, license queuing, and overdraft options.
Production-Ready Outputs Verilog RTL, UVM register descriptions, C-headers, HTML documentation, and IP-XACT interoperability formats.
