Our premium expert review service, Arm Design Reviews, helps you optimize your Arm-based system on chip (SoC) designs, using advice from the most experienced Arm engineers in the industry. Arm Design Reviews boost your Arm technology expertise and help your team design effectively to launch products quickly without risking quality.
By increasing the efficiency of communication and knowledge transfer between Arm engineers and your team, design reviews help to:
- Improve the quality of your design
- Shorten your design cycle and reduce time-to-market
- Reduce project risk
Design Reviews are designed to address project 'Hot Spots' in a typical SoC design flow.
Types of design reviews
-
Architecture Review
A virtual or on-site service that reviews your proposed system, examines the system topology, identifies potential bottlenecks and power management considerations, and provides general best practices.
-
RTL Review
A virtual or on-site service to verify the SoC design of your Arm IP at the RTL level, covering signal connectivity, system coherency, correct implementation, and system performance.
-
Physical Implementation Review
Arm physical implementation engineers provide a best-practice review of your implementation flow and intermediate results, followed by an on-site or virtual review of logs before you proceed to the tape-out stage.
-
Silicon Bring-Up Services
Experienced Arm engineers provide virtual and on-site services to support the bring-up of your silicon, including a focus on Trusted Firmware, debug and readiness checklist run-throughs, and onsite support.
-
ISP Tuning Design Review
Experienced Arm engineers review and give guidance on your camera image quality, comparing this against the performance of the Arm ISP reference platform. The review covers areas including sensor driver porting, 3A, brightness and contrast, color reproduction, noise, detail, and motion artifacts.
