This platform is equipped with Faraday’s A600 SoC chip on an evaluation board and the Linux software development kit (SDK) to create a full-performance system environment, that will enable seamless functional verification and system software development in the early development stage.
The A600 SoC platform can be used to shorten time-to-market for FinFET’s applications, including AIoT, edge computing, multimedia, and communication.
To meet high-performance and complex SoC design needs, the A600 SoC features Arm Cortex-A53 quad-core CPU with performance optimisation up to 1.5 GHz, and its verified in-house LPDDR4/4X controller and PHY IP/subsystem; in addition, the A600 contains high-speed interface IPs such as PCIe Gen4 and USB. By connecting a customer’s FPGA board through a USB Type-C cable, the SoCreative!VI A600 platform will help customers to evaluate and then verify their own design blocks in a proven SoC architecture more easily.
“Faraday’s latest SoCreative series platform A600 allows customers’ SoC projects to quickly migrate to the FinFET process,” said Flash Lin, chief operating officer of Faraday. “With the deployment of this platform, we are offering significant additional value to ASIC customers seeking earlier entry into the IP evaluation and software development of their SoC projects across numerous next-generation applications.”
