With the adoption of the IEEE 1500 [1] Standard, the opportunity exists for System on Chip (SoC) designers to specify test systems in a generic way. As the IEEE 1500 Standard does not address the specification and design of the on-chip Test Access Mechanism (TAM), considerable effort may still be required if test engineers are to optimise testing SoCs with IEEE 1500 Wrapped Cores. This paper de...

NoC (network On Chip) is an efficient approach to design the communication subsystem between IP Cores in SoC (System On Chip). In this paper a communication infrastructure design using CDMA (Code division multiple access) based shared bus architecture for core-to-core communication in NoC is presented. CDMA has been proposed as an alternative way for interconnect of IP cores in a SoC design, or...

In this technical report, we survey the state-of-the-art of the design and verification techniques and methodologies the System on-a-Chip (SoC). The advancement in the hardware area made it possible the integration of a complete yet complex system on a single chip. Over 10 million gates, integrated together and running a real time optimized software red crossed classical design techniques. Trad...

SoC has driven the evolution of embedded systems or consumer electronics. Multi-core/multi-IP is the key technology to integrate many functions on a SoC for future embedded applications. In this paper, the transition of SoC and its required functions for cellular phones as an example is described. And the state-of-the-art multi-core technology of homogeneous type and heterogeneous type are show...

Today’s feature-rich multimedia products require embedded system solution with complex System-on-Chip (SoC) to meet market expectations of high performance at low cost and lower energy consumption. SoCs are complex designs with multiple embedded processors, memory subsystems, and application specific peripherals. The memory architecture of embedded SoCs strongly influences the area, power and p...

Testability issues of a core based system-on-a-chip (SOC) are identified and the various solutions available at the different stages of SOC evolution are discussed. It was found that a strategy at core level and system level is needed to achieve first time success of the core based SOC. The issues considered include area, power and delay overheads, Fault coverage, At speed test, Core transparen...

Context-Flow System-On-Chip Platforms Rami Beidas Master of Applied Science Graduate Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Toronto 2004 Recent evolution in system-on-chip (SOC) design methodology demonstrates an important omission of a design principle that directly contributes to the success of conventional computer systems: the use of a simple programming model to se...

In order to protect the security of network data, a high speed chip module for encrypting and decrypting of network data packet is designed. The chip module is oriented for internet information security SOC (System on Chip) design. During the design process, AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) and 3DES (Data Encryption Standard) encryption algorithm are adopted to protect the security of network...

Today FPGAs with large gate counts provide a highly flexible platform to implement a complete Systemon-Chip (SoC) in a single device. Specifically radiation tolerant space suitable SRAM-based FPGAs have significantly improved the flexibility of high reliable systems for space applications. Currently the reconfigurability of these devices is only used during development phase. A further enhancem...

This paper presents a System on Chip (SoC) for the path following task of autonomous non-holonomic mobile robots. The SoC consists of a parameterized Digital Fuzzy Logic Controller (DFLC) core and a flow control algorithm that runs under the XilinxMicroblaze soft processor core. The fuzzy controller supports a fuzzy path tracking algorithm introduced by the authors. The FPGA board hosting the S...
