Magillem Connectivity
Accelerate the Design of Complex Systems With a Complete SoC Integration Solution
Automate SoC Assembly to Eliminate Tedious Tasks and Focus on What Matters Most
For design teams coping with exploding complexity, the Magillem™ Connectivity product streamlines and shortens by 30% the integration process to create correct by construction platforms.
It accelerates IPs deployment with continuous integration for an automated hardware development flow adapting to changes.
Reduce the Integration Process From Months to Weeks for Large-Scale SoC Designs
With a proven data model based on IP-XACT industry standard, Magillem Connectivity enables:
- IP packaging for efficient handling of all aspects of system integration for connectivity and configurability
- Automatic IPs instantiation and error-free connection process with solid API to access all the design data
- Comprehensive HSI automation ensures better quality design and faster productivity.
The tool allows a significant jump in productivity, predictability with progress reporting, and portability of the design environment. For very large designs with thousands of instances, Magillem Connectivity streamlines the integration process decreasing design cycle time by up to 30%.
Restructure for an Error-Free Design to Meet Power and Floorplanning Constraints
Eliminate painful, manual steps across the build flow and optimize time-consuming netlist for physical design with Magillem Connectivity. It delivers automated hierarchy manipulation capabilities with built-in checks ensuring high-quality generated design.
- Separate RTL hierarchy and physical hierarchy, enabling powerful features including feedthrough connections for abutted floorplan and hard macros replication.
- Rapid response to physical design requirements, reducing the process from weeks to 1-2 days.
- Drastic improvement in development time and SoC quality through continuous integration flow.
Error-Free System Map Generation
Synchronizing connectivity and memory map information with full integration of Magillem Registers and Magillem Connectivity:
- Calculate and display the system map from the selected initiator.
- Confirm that memory regions defined in the memory map can be reached (presence of a physical path).
- Check that all the SW visible elements (registers or memory regions) in connected targets are present in the memory map.
