Hierarchical register-map specs are easily captured into SpectaReg as you decompose the system, define features, develop algorithms, and partition hardware / software -- it’s easier than using an XML-editor, word-processor or spreadsheet. Low-level implementation details are abstracted and you are not required to learn a new language.

RTL, embedded software, verification, validation and documentation are kept in-sync as register-maps evolve over time, resulting in a smoother integration and better quality system. If you use ESL modelling, SpectaReg can generate SystemC transaction level models for the registers in your system. Also, since SpectaReg makes registers so easy you’ll be able to make your hardware logic more run-time configurable, with better diagnostics and observation points for debugging.
