In one embodiment, a design tool for designing a system on chip (SoC) includes hardware logic to generate one or more configuration files for a fabric of a SoC to be designed by the design tool. This logic is configured, based at least in part on user input, to generate the one or more configuration files, according to at least one of: automatic derivation of all parameters of the fabric, according to a first user selection; manual input by a user of at least some parameters of the fabric and automatic derivation of at least other parameters of the fabric, according to a second user selection; and manual input by the user of the all parameters of the fabric, according to a third user selection. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
