RAPID SOC PROOF-OF-CONCEPT FOR ZERO COST

JEFF MILLER, PRODUCT MARKETING AND STRATEGY, MENTOR GRAPHICS PHIL BURR, SENIOR PRODUCT MANAGER, ARM, Oct. 23, 2017 – 

THE SCENARIO

Your company provides analog/mixed-signal (AMS) and sensor-based ICs, but your best customer wants you to create a system on a chip (SoC) that includes a digital processor (Figure 1). With little experience with digital processors, you need to quickly provide a proof-of-concept to your customer that shows the viability of this new IC in the next few days. And, you have very little budget.

Because of the lack of funding, you need to keep non-recurring engineering (NRE) cost as low as possible. The working definition of NRE in the context of this paper is the cost of IP and EDA tooling. Because your salary is recurring, the time spent proving the concept is not included as NRE, but you only have a few days to complete the proof of concept anyway. How can you show a proof-of-concept to your customer fast and for zero NRE?

ARM DESIGNSTART

Recognizing that there are special requirements for sensor and mixed-signal companies, as well as startups or small teams creating custom SoCs, ARM offers the DesignStart portal (Figure 2) that allows designers fast and easy access to a trial selection of ARM products without charge. In addition, Mentor Graphics provides the Tanner EDA design tools for free evaluation and ARM offers approved design partners for SoC development help.
