DTI(Distributed Translation Interface)is a point to point protocol ,that is used in Arm System MMUv3 (SMMUv3) architecture applications for address translation in stages. It uses AXI-Stream as transport layer.Latest DTI-G spec (on top of DTI-F) has features like DPTbypass, MPAM, PARTID extensions etc. Read our blog on DTI-G for more details. #TBU #TCU #SMMUv3 #DTI #AMBA #Synopsys

🚀 Day 91/100: APB-SRAM Interface Implementation! Today, I focused on integrating an APB-SRAM Interface into my design. This setup facilitates seamless communication between the Advanced Peripheral Bus (APB) and the SRAM module, ensuring efficient data transfer. I connected the APB signals to the SRAM for read/write operations, carefully managing synchronization with clock and control signals like write enable (wena) and chip enable (cena). This implementation boosts my confidence in handling memory interfaces.  For more information, including synthesis results, you can check my GitHub link: https://lnkd.in/gumwBnH2 #100DaysRTL #VLSI #Verilog #DigitalDesign

Discover how designers can enhance their workflow with the Synopsys Platform Architect and ARC® NP6X NPU Processor IP. This demo shows how the tool helps designers efficiently analyze and optimize their SoCs, demonstrating the stable diffusion of a neural network workload on the ARC NPX core. By predicting and refining architecture KPIs, this solution significantly reduces design time.

🚀 Project Completion Announcement! 🎉 I’m thrilled to announce the completion of my latest project, which integrates the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) with a RAM module. This project leverages SPI, a synchronous serial communication protocol, to enable efficient data transfer between a master and slave devices. Project Overview: -SPI Interface: The SPI protocol uses MOSI, MISO, SS_n, and SCLK to manage data exchange. -The SPI_Wrapper module in this project effectively handles these signals, allowing for seamless communication with the RAM module. -RAM Module: A straightforward memory unit that supports basic read and write operations. The RAM stores and retrieves data based on SPI commands, validated through a comprehensive testbench. The project features: -SPI Communication: Manages data transfers and command execution. -RAM Operations: Handles data storage and retrieval with address-based commands. -Testbench: Thoroughly validates RAM operations to ensure correct data handling and command execution.

Debugging a NOC based SOC can be a daunting task due to the complexity of on-chip bus design. However, there are some ways to make it easier. Test Access Methodology (TAM) enables test data exchange between the SOC's external pins and its embedded cores, easing out the debugging process. Another useful tool is ARM's ETM, which can trace an ARM processor core by monitoring AMBA bus. Additionally, core debug supporters (CDS) can be attached to the cores for more efficient debugging. With one CDS for master cores and another for slave cores, each operates with the functional clock of its core, monitoring signals and generating debug control signals. And let's not forget that NOC itself can be used as a debug data path for NOC based SOC debugging. Stay on top of your SOC game with these helpful debugging tools. #debugging #SOC #NOC #TAM #ARM #CDS

The RTP3200 TAS N+ uses a multiprocessor architecture that performs logic solving with 1ms scancycle, 1ms I/O scanning for both digital and analog, internal and external system communications and extensive diagnostics, for full coverage of system health checking. All tasks are divided over multiple CPU's running in parallel. The Advanced Diagnostics which are run on every scan pass, check, re-check, validate and re-validate that every decision made is correct before any implementation. The integrity is still further enhanced by carrying out a multiple-layered voting that includes the node processors and I/O point Level. Calculated in accordance with IEC61508/61511 regulations and Exida Markov Model, the RTP 3000 T.A.S. achieves an MTTFS of over 60.000 years.

The OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) reference model is a conceptual framework used to standardize and understand how different network protocols interact and communicate across a network. It is a 7-layer model, with each layer representing a specific aspect of network communication, from physical hardware to application services. Understanding the OSI model is crucial for network professionals because it helps troubleshoot, manage, and design networks more efficiently. https://lnkd.in/gkFeZEGK
