What’s Needed to Perform End-to-End Testing for 5G Open Radio Access Network SoCs
Testing an O-RAN Radio Unit (O-RU) SoC at full scale implies sending realistic traffic, in conformance with current specifications and at the right time on the right interfaces to simulate complex scenarios and cover as many corner cases as possible. It requires a robust debug methodology which can provide quick turn around and appropriate window… Read More »What’s Needed to Perform End-to-End Testing for 5G Open Radio Access Network SoCs
Exploring a Software First Approach to Avoid SoC Re-spins
Traditional coverage-based verification methods are no longer sufficient to verify complex SoCs integrating many processor cores and IP subsystems. To conquer the verification challenge of complex SoCs, companies are shifting their development paradigm to a software first approach. By considering the target software up front, as a critical part of the SoC development process, designs… Read More »Exploring a Software First Approach to Avoid SoC Re-spins
