peakrdl-ipxact
Import and export IP-XACT XML to/from the systemrdl-compiler register model
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you work with both SystemRDL and IP-XACT in hardware design. The package has low install friction, no known vulnerabilities, and stable production status. GPLv3 licensing is suitable for open-source projects but requires review for proprietary use. The aging maintenance status is a minor concern for a stable format converter but suggests limited active development—verify that the IP-XACT schema versions it supports match your tool ecosystem before committing.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Low friction install with a single runtime dependency (systemrdl-compiler).
- Maintenance status is aging—last release was 668 days ago, though the repository remains active and not archived.

What it is and what it does
PeakRDL-ipxact bridges the SystemRDL register description language and the IP-XACT XML standard, two widely used formats in hardware design automation. It provides bidirectional conversion: exporting compiled SystemRDL register models into IP-XACT XML for integration with other EDA tools, and importing existing IP-XACT files back into the systemrdl-compiler namespace for further processing.
The package is part of the PeakRDL toolchain ecosystem and depends solely on systemrdl-compiler. It targets hardware engineers and EDA tool developers who work with register specifications and need to exchange designs between SystemRDL workflows and IP-XACT-based tools. The package is marked Production/Stable and supports Python 3.6 through 3.12, though it has not been updated since its latest release on 2024-10-15.
Use it for
- Export a SystemRDL register model to IP-XACT XML for consumption by commercial EDA tools
- Import an IP-XACT register definition from a third-party IP vendor into a SystemRDL-based design flow
- Automate register documentation generation by converting between formats in a CI/CD pipeline
- Validate register specifications by round-tripping through both SystemRDL and IP-XACT representations
- Integrate legacy IP-XACT designs into a modern SystemRDL-based register automation framework
