debugging effort.
-
Rigorous checking procedures are always employed, particularly in early design
stages.
-
Well
designed HDL coding simplifies the software interface.

Software OO methods used for hardware modeling methodology, where possible.
Intellectual Property
Session Control is in possession of a constantly expanding base of pre-tested IP
modules which we make available to our clients at a modest cost during product
development. This cost compares favorably with the cost of creating
the IP from scratch. Examples of currently available IP are:
-
DDR
and Mobile DDR DRAM: Arbitration (N clients).
-
DDR
and Mobile DDR DRAM: PHY.
-
DDR
and Mobile DDR DRAM: R/W FIFO's
-
Delay
lines
-
FIFO
cores (block style, or streaming)
-
I2C
-
Inter-clock-domain handlers
-
Interrupt Controller
-
Microblaze bus extraction
-
Non-integer clock dividers
-
Priority Encoder
