This advanced course elevates engineers from solid Platform Designer users to expert-level practitioners. The first day opens with a targeted review of key intermediate concepts — BFM based simulation, interconnect generation, and hierarchical design — reinforcing the foundation before moving into expert territory. From that point, the course focuses exclusively on the techniques and knowledge that distinguish expert level Platform Designer engineers from competent users.
Coverage spans advanced BFM testbench construction and simulation automation, System Console based JTAG debug and scripting, deep interconnect analysis and performance optimization, expert level hierarchical subsystem management, high speed serial IP integration (PCIe and Ethernet), DMA engine architecture, large SoC integration strategies, and complete design for reuse and IP catalog management practices.
