Low Cost System on Chip Design for Audio Processing

Abstract

System-on-Chip (SoC) design is an integration of multi million transistors in a single chip for alleviating time to market and reduce the cost of the design. It uses the concept of design reuse to increase the productivity with reduction in time. In this paper we present a platform for a low cost SoC design using Open Core SoC design methodology. It offers flexible way of using reusable cores with low cost. In this proposed design a set of cores from Open Core is collected and integrated using Open Core WISHBONE interfacing for an audio processing application. The first primary result shows that the SoC can be implemented using field programmable gate array (FPGA).
