Surviving the Soc Revolution: A Guide to Platform-based Design

`This book crystallizes what may become a defining moment in the electronics industry - the shift to platform-based design. It provides the first comprehensive guidebook for those who will build, and use, the integration platforms that may soon drive the system-on-chip revolution. '
Richard Goering - Senior Technology Editor, Electronic Engineering Times
`"Surviving the SOC Revolution" takes the "Reuse Methodology Manual" top the next plateau - the `platform'. It goes beyond codifying best design practices for an `IP black', enabling true Virtual Componenets. Platform-based design articulates how to build these blocks so that they can cammunicate without modification - `Reuse without Rework'. This is the only way to survive the SOC revolution.'
Larry Rosenberg, Chair of the VSIA Technical Committee
`Coding guidelines and repositories are not sufficient to make reseuse happen. The information, processes and techniques presented in this book are critical to the implementation of a successful SOC design methodology. It covers the more critical aspects of design reuse: planning a portfolio of certified reusable components that integrate easily into an application-focused platform. IP authoring cannot happen in a vacuum.'
