| Description | System on Chip Integration |
Duolog Technologies provides EDA Tools for SoC design that automate and streamline the IP integration process.
Our Socrates tools reduce the System-on-Chip (SoC) design cycles by months. Socrates automates the IP integration process and generates vast amounts of code and documentation while keeping design, verification and software teams fully synchronized.
Product Overview
WEAVER - SoC/IP Integration & Chip Assembly
IP reuse and efficient IP integration are essential for successful SoC development. Socrates Weaver is a revolutionary tool for IP integration that is the fastest and most efficient way to build and maintain complex systems. The unique rules-based integration methodology employed by Weaver maximizes the potential for IP, subsystem and system reuse.
The Problem
Most automated IP integration flows are not truly automated. Only a small number of connections – typically well-defined bus interfaces – are automatically supported. The majority of interconnections must be made manually or via low-level scripted commands. This approach offers little or no productivity gains over purely manual flows and has very limited potential for reuse. Managing incremental changes as the system evolves is difficult and time-consuming.
Your Solution
Socrates Weaver has a unique rules-based integration methodology that offers an intuitive, highly automated, scalable solution for IP integration and system assembly. Weaver’s rules are simple, high-level specifications of integration intent. Weaver synthesizes the rules to create the low-level connections. Because of the high level of abstraction, a single rule can result in hundreds, or even thousands, of individual correct-by-construction connections. Rules are simple to understand and review and can be easily shared and reused. Rules can be combined to create more complex structures and stored in libraries that can be used and reused across teams or companies. Weaver can also be used to build and dissolve design hierarchy without disrupting connectivity.
BITWISE - Register & Memory-map Management Effective HW/SW integration is one of the biggest challenges facing System-on-Chip (SoC) development teams. Registers and memory-maps are at the heart of the HW/SW interface. Socrates Bitwise manages the entire register and memory-map infrastructure for an IP or system, improving inter-team communications, enhancing design quality and greatly reducing workload.
The Problem
Many of the bugs and schedule slips that plague SoC designs originate from miscommunication and inconsistencies surrounding the HW/SW interface. Specifying and managing the HW/SW interface information, while maintaining synchronization between functionally and geographically diverse teams, is an essential but time-consuming and error-prone task. In order to succeed, teams must be able to rely on a single source from which to draw their information.
Your Solution
Socrates Bitwise manages HW/SW register, memory-map and interface definitions for IPs, subsystems or SoCs. Bitwise provides a single-source specification for register and memory-map information from which all design, verification, software and integration teams auto-generate the views they require, thereby remaining perfectly synchronized at all times. Bitwise enhances inter-team communications, increases levels of flow automation and significantly reduces development schedules. Bitwise provides a comprehensive environment that supports architectural planning, IP import, IP creation, and view generation. The result is a complete solution for HW/SW interface management that eliminates an entire category of bugs from your systems.
SPINNER - I/O Fabric Management
Modern SoC devices typically support multiple static and dynamic operating modes. This can result in thousands of top-level signals that need to be mapped to hundreds of I/O pins according to the target application. Socrates Spinner manages this increasingly complex area by specifying and auto-generating all of the logic associated with the chip I/O layer.
The Problem
Increasing SoC complexity and hardware and software configurability has resulted in functional and test signals that are heavily constrained within a pin-limited package. This leads to extensive sharing of pins for functional and test purposes, and consequently highly complex I/O layer functionality. A single bug in the I/O layer can be fatal, often resulting in a chip respin. Designing and verifying the I/O layer, and communicating I/O information between all stakeholders, has become a full-time task for I/O subsystem teams.
Your Solution
Socrates Spinner is an award-winning tool that specifies the complete I/O layer, auto-generates multiple design views and enables seamless integration of the I/O fabric with the rest of the system.
Spinner simplifies and automates the specification and verification of the I/O subsystem, slashing development schedules, enhancing inter-team communications and virtually eliminating the risk of I/O bugs.
