A Novel Approach for SLM GUI Design, Development and Test Suite Automation

Abstract

Recent times have seen a vast change in trends ranging from mode of imparting education to transforming the world into a global village through ‘Digital Era’. In this course of changes, the size of electronic devices, is a key factor around which electronic industry is advancing. Starting from a room-size computer, we now hold a vision to develop the device that must occupy minimum space, maximum features with optimal utilization of power. ‘System on Chip’ is the technology that backs up the feasibility to turn the vision true. It involves a very complex level of integration of various parts of a system onto a single chip. SoCs are rapidly replacing CPUs in the electronics market, and the pace of this change demands the design cycle time to be even shorter. The thesis document discuss briefly this crucial issue and addresses the most time-consuming phase of SoC design, i.e., Verification. Since industry research is primarily need oriented, we, at STMicroelectronics, take up the opportunity to develop solutions for the sections that pose significant challenge to the business activities of the company.
