Building a complex SoC is a risky endeavor that demands careful planning, strategic decisions, and collaboration across hardware and software domains. As highlighted in Darren Jones’ RISC-V Summit presentation from Andes Technology, titled “From Blueprint to Reality: Navigating SoC Tradeoffs, IP, and Ecosystem,”… Read More
Designing a system-on-chip (SoC) has never been more complex—or more critical. With accelerating demands across AI, automotive, and high-performance compute applications, today’s SoC architects face a series of high-stakes tradeoffs from the very beginning. Decisions made during the earliest phases of design—regarding… Read More
One of the more entertaining things I get to observe in the semiconductor ecosystem is competitive customer evaluations of tools and IP. Seriously, this is where the rubber meets the road no matter what the press releases say.
This time it was emulators which is one of the most interesting EDA market segments since there is no dominant… Read More
