System IP

Arm interconnects and system controllers are the optimum compatible solution for your Arm-based SoC. Our Socrates tool can help you configure your system:

Interconnect

• Arm Corelink Coherent Interconnect and AMBA CHI
• Arm Corelink Network Interconnect

System controllers

• Arm System IP - MMU and SMMU
• Arm System IP – GIC

Socrates

• Arm Socrates CoreLink CMN-600 Creation
• Arm Socrates CoreLink NIC-400 Creation

Coresight allows you to observe or modify the state of parts of your design. You can also design trace features to allow continuous collection of system information for later off-line analysis.
