A Platform for System-Level Integration

Fast prototyping and IP (Intellectual Property) blocks reuse are two major vectors in reducing the time-to market of System-on-Chip (SoC). This presentation highlights the advantages and issues of the platform based development approach for system level integration (SLI). An application from Oki Semiconductor (mPLATTM Development Platform) is also presented.
