Arm based system-on-chip design

What it covers

Arm architecture underpins the majority of today’s computing platforms, powering billions of devices across mobile, automotive, IoT, and edge-AI applications. In this unit, you will be introduced to Arm technologies and their role in modern system-on-chip (SoC) design. You will study the Arm A-profile architecture, including performance-oriented and heterogeneous processing concepts. You will be exposed to the complete SoC design and implementation flow, with particular emphasis on the front-end design process, including architecture definition, IP selection, AMBA-based integration, RTL design, and functional verification. Through the use of Arm virtual platforms and FPGA-based prototyping, you will gain practical, system-level experience in analysing and demonstrating Arm-based SoC designs suitable for real-world applications.
