Hi,
i am searching for software (freeware maybe) which is able to manage a
huge number of hdl modules for reuse. the software shoult archive a
reuseable hdl module and support an easy find of archived modules.

does anyone know a good tool which cover this featuers ?

i know a sofware called scriptorium , but this is a one file database
not a module or complex block archive software. i need software which
combine a lot of files for each module.

thanx and best regards
rainer

First of all, thanks for asking a good and relevant question.
I do not know of any custom software for this, but perhaps
it will not be very difficult to make one.

1. Synopsys provides some type of data base interface.
I do not recall the name of this and as late as three months
back it was in beta, I believe. This may be one option that
you may want to try.

2. Your next bet after an EDA vendor provided option is
to use mySQL and write a simple interface to the database.
Now as it is probably obvious to you at this point, it is not
the database (or the interface to it) that is critical here - the
most critical part will be how you define the keywords that
identify the modules and their functionalities in the most
concise way.

Thanx for the answer.

Do you know the name of the synopsys tool ? i found something called
coreConsultant , but i thing this wasn't what you mean.
Your suggestion to write a new interface is nice , but it take time
and cost
man power. i am searching for an esy to use know how mangement
software, for perl , vhdl model what ever.
(http://scriptorium.sourceforge.net/ like this but able to manage more
than one file )

After asking around, it seems the name of the tool is DVE
and it is supposedly the next version of VirSim. It has a
component that lets you use a data base interface. I would
presume at this point a Synopsys sales rep is frantically
looking for your phone number to give you more info.
