A Platform-Centric Approach to System-on-Chip (SOC) Design

The platform-centric SoC method is aimed at the design of today's SoC systems with emphasis on real-time, embedded systems. The approach provides a guideline and an SoC design environment that promotes an integration of state-of-the-art tools and techniques necessary for the development of the systems. It renders a new and better perspective toward co-design approaches, while also raising a level of design abstraction. Because the configurable platform objects are designed off-cycle, they contribute to the general improvement in development time. By incorporating their usage, the overall method strikes a balance between total design flexibility and minimal time-to-market.

There are very few books that show how platform-based systems may be designed and tested The application of platforms to SoC design, and the further use of UML have been investigated and promoted, but this book will go further in setting out and testing a detailed methodology for a platform-centric approach Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
