Abstract :
Today´s embedded systems design culture produces custom products from scratch. However, as electronic products become more complex and global competition demands shorter time to market, the industry is moving toward a design process that integrates commodity system-on-chip (SoC) platforms. The article looks at how we go about developing such integration-oriented SoC design flows and evolving a new platform-based design culture
