AMBA SOC Platform (Configurable) by Aurora VLSI, Inc.

Product Description

The AMBA Bus SOC Platform is a configurable AMBA Bus platform with several popular peripherals and system functions. It provides a baseline SOC implementation to which designers add the ARM processor, their proprietary hardware, and other third party IP of their choice. This baseline SOC implementation is assembled and ready to go, thus saving SOC designers countless hours to get their SOC to tapeout and running in the lab. The AMBA Bus SOC Platform is available as a synthesizable Verilog model from Aurora VLSI, Inc. Contact CustomerService@auroravlsi.com.
