Atmel’s Platform-based Methodology for System-on-Chip Design
نویسنده
چکیده
The semiconductor industry is moving towards nanoscale technology with IC transistor counts attaining the hundreds of millions. Systems-on-chip are reaching a level of complexity at which it is essential to test and debug the hardware and software of the entire system at operational speed before incurring the mask costs for prototype fabrication. System prototyping using an FPGA-based emulation platform is becoming the preferred methodology for achieving this. Atmel 's Mistral emulation board for ARM9-based systems-on-chip combines flexibility, performance and ease of use to reduce design cycle times and increase confidence in obtaining right-first-time silicon.

System-on-a-Chip - A Platform Perspective
Today, IC technology offers the possibility of integrating so many functions onto a single chip that it is indeed possible to implement an “environment-to-environment” system on a single chip. The literature is rich with papers discussing the System-on-Chip (SoC) opportunities; however, there has not been a wide market acceptance for this concept. The basic misconception has been attempting to ...
متن کاملDynamics and Motion Control of Wheeled Robotic Systems
Mobile robotic systems, which include a mobile platform with one or more manipulators, mounted at specific locations on the mobile base, are of great interest in a number of applications. In this paper, after thorough kinematic studies on the platform and manipulator motions, a systematic methodology will be presented to obtain the dynamic equations for such systems without violating the base n...

متن کاملA Verification Platform for System on Chip
System on Chip technology will reshape common design practice. The pressure to create a working System on Chip design as early as possible leads designers to consider using a platform based design method, called a system integration platform. In this design methodology, a system is built from intellectual property blocks in a plug and play environment. By using this approach, designing an appli...
متن کاملExtending Platform-Based Design to Network on Chip Systems
Exploitation of silicon capacity will require improvements in design productivity and more scalable system paradigms. Asynchronous message passing networks on chip (NOC) have been proposed as backbones for billion-transistor ASICs. We present a novel layered backbone-platform-system (BPS) design methodology for development of network-on-chip based products. It combines and extends the distribut...
