What is DesignStart?
Creating a custom chip has never been easier. Arm DesignStart provides fast access to industry-leading processor IP and Artisan Physical IP – with no upfront fee.
Get started with the Arm Cortex-M0 and Cortex-M3 processors and SoC design products, including verified, configurable and modifiable subsystems that pre-integrate the processor with the most relevant system components. Subsystems are readily available tested solutions that can be directly integrated into your design. Learn more in the DesignStart FAQs
DesignStart for Physical IP provides instant access to thousands of Arm Artisan physical IP products, including Logic IP, Standard Cell, Embedded Memory Compilers, Interface IP and POP IP.
“Arm DesignStart is the ideal starting point for a custom SoC – being able to use both the Cortex-M0 and Cortex-M3 CPUs with a $0 license, just a success-based, royalty-only model, means that our customers can save on costs and reduce risk. Providing these in a verified subsystem allows our developers to concentrate on creating the value-add in the custom SoC, with the fastest time-to-market.”
