Automate the Pain Away: HW/SW Interface Design Methodology

By Insaf Meliane

As System-on-Chip (SoC) designs become increasingly complex, engineering teams face growing challenges coordinating hardware and software development across multiple domains. Today's projects require more than isolated point tools — they demand connected methodologies that streamline workflows from system architecture and assembly through software enablement, validation, and implementation.

This presentation explores how automation can simplify HW/SW interface design, reduce integration challenges, and improve development productivity. Learn how a connected design methodology helps engineering teams accelerate development while maintaining consistency across the SoC lifecycle.
