Sillicon Validation
eInfochips offers pre silicon validation services and post silicon validation services to chip vendors in order to achieve 100% bug-free silicon before releasing it for mass production or shipping to end customers. eInfochips' validation services encompass Board level Silicon Validation, Validation using Hardware Accelerators and Emulators – Axis, EVE, Palladium, Tharas, ARM based System Validation, DSP based System Validation, FPGA based Validation, Processor based System Validation, Hardware Software Co-verification, ASIC Validation, SoC Validation, Chip Bring-up, ASIC Prototyping using FPGA, SoC Prototyping, FPGA Prototyping using platforms such as HAPS – Hardi and other FPGA based proprietary boards. eInfochips has a state of the art hardware development laboratory equipped with latest tools and test equipments at India headquarter office in Ahmedabad, Gujarat.
The company leverages its functional verification, board design and embedded firmware expertise to accelerate customer's silicon validation cycle. The services are also instrumental in validating customer's 'proof of concept' and ensuring bug-free silicon.
- Pre Silicon Validation
- Post Sillicon Validation
- Flow
- Expertise
eInfochips' pre-silicon validation practice helps customer to verify the correctness and sufficiency of the design before sending it for fabrication. Our proven validation strategy fully exercise all design functionality through detecting violations of defined protocols and verifying data consistency at a high level.
This service typically includes:
- FPGA prototype development
- Validation plan development
- Validation automation plan development
- Firmware development and automation
- Validation of features that are unable to cover during functional verification
- FPGA validation as per customer's acceptance criteria
Post-silicon validation is extremely crucial and important for complex SoCs either because of their broad consumer proliferation, or because of their mission-critical application. eInfochips ensures that the new chip functions in full and perfect compliance to its specification, and be delivered to the market within tight consumer windows.
This service typically includes:
- Board design with standard peripherals
- Chip bring up
- Low level test drivers development
- Sample drivers for interface bring-up
- Sample Application software for test
- Reference boards development
- Silicon validation on various platforms such as DSP based Multimedia System for Consumer Applications, ARM based Systems for Communication / Mobile Applications
- Interfaces and bus protocols: SLIMbus, Bluetooth, FM, USB, PCI, PCIe, GBE, DDR, SATA, AMBA AHB, UART, I2C, SPI, EPTA, PCM, I2S and many more
- Supplementary modules: Clock generation Unit, Analog Control Block, Timer, Interrupt Controller Unit, DMA , Timers (including WatchDog Timer), DMA Engines, Interrupt Controllers, PLLs, GPIOs
- Hardware Accelerators: Palladium, EVE, Axis, Tharas
- Prototyping platforms: CHIPit-PlatinumV4, HAPS (Hardi) Board, ARM Development kit, ALTERA / XILINX FPGA based prototyping boards
