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 5 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 5 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 5 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 5 Registers and Magillem 5 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.
