Today, over 70 percent of integrated circuit (IC) design starts are system-on-chip (SoC) ICs comprising embedded processors and software. In this environment, traditional objectives of achieving first silicon success remain important, but are no longer the sole determinant of success in new product development. Increasingly, systems manufacturers realize that product success depends on the full functionality of the entire system – including embedded software, system-level bus protocols and the interaction between these within the hardware design.
