This program is dedicated to the development of a System on Chip (SoC) platform, specifically designed to support learning and research activities within Indonesian academic institutions. The platform serves as an educational and research tool for students, lecturers, and researchers to gain hands-on experience in digital chip design.

The instruction memory in the first tape out of nanosoc was implemented using SRAM. The benefit was the read bandwidth from this memory was very fast, the downside was on a power-on-reset, all the code was erased as SRAM is volatile memory. An alternative use of non-volatile memory would benefit applications where deployment of the ASIC does not allow, or simply time is not available for programming the SRAM after every power up.


As part of plans for continued development of nanoSoC one area that requires improvement is the power structure of system. The first iteration of nanoSoC contained 2 power domains: the accelerator domain and the remainder of the SoC. Both power domains were connected to external pins to allow connection to separate external voltage regulators and power measurement ICs, as implemented in the first version of the nanoSoC testboard.
