How a soft IP block is built inside: its structure, data paths, clocking and reset, register map and configuration logic, reviewed before RTL coding builds on it.
Architecture Work product in the Soft IP lifecycle
It records how the block is built before RTL coding starts, so design, verification and DFT work from one structure. When the micro-architecture is decided in the code, register maps and configuration logic drift, verification plans against guesses and integrators see interfaces change after early access.
