ARM Socrates 1.8.0 | FPGA & SoC Design & Implementation Platform

ARM Socrates 1.8.0 is a comprehensive software platform for designing, implementing, and optimizing ARM-based FPGA and System-on-Chip (SoC) designs. It provides an integrated environment for configuring ARM processor subsystems, managing IP, and streamlining the hardware implementation flow into target FPGA devices.

Core Functionality Overview:

• Graphical ARM Subsystem Configuration: Allows for the visual selection and configuration of ARM Cortex processor cores, interconnect (AMBA), peripherals, and memory controllers to build custom FPGA-optimized subsystems.

• IP Management & Design Assembly: Manages and integrates licensed ARM and third-party IP blocks, automates the generation of necessary interconnect logic, and outputs a complete hardware design (RTL) ready for synthesis.

• Flow Integration & Implementation Scripts: Generates synthesis and implementation scripts for major FPGA vendor tools (Xilinx Vivado, Intel Quartus), accelerating the path from system design to bitstream generation.
