4.2.2. Digital IP Integration Process

Try these first

1. 1.

   What does IP selection involve?

   Hint

   Think about the components needed for your design.

2. 2.

   What is the purpose of simulation in the integration process?

   Hint

   It's about testing before final implementation.

3. 3.

   What does the IP selection phase involve?

   • Choosing IP cores
   • Testing the design
   • Physical layout adjustment

   Hint

   Consider the first step in the integration process.

4. 4.

   True or False: Interconnection is only important for digital IP components.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Think about the systems where both types interact.

5. 5.

   Given a set of functional requirements for an SoC, outline the key factors you would consider during IP selection and customization.

   Hint

   Think about both the functional and technical aspects needed for the design.

6. 6.

   Consider a scenario where an integrated design is failing to operate correctly; formulate strategies to troubleshoot issues related to interconnection and simulation.

   Hint

   Think about the end-to-end process and where potential faults could occur.
