The integration of the DMA350 into the nanosoc re-usable SoC architecture improves the transfer bandwidth on DMA channels within the SoC.  This project integrates the DMA 350 into nanosoc, validates the integration and functionality of the DMA 350, and compares the performance of the DMA 350 to the PL230, the first DMA controller integrated into nanosoc.

Performing system-level verification on a System-on-Chip (SoC) design is crucial for ensuring the correct function and overall performance of the entire system, rather than individual components. This project is aimed at developing the necessary resources and design flow stages for the verification of the NanoSoC reference design.

With NanoSoC, there are multiple options for performing system-level verification. 

The k-Nearest-Neighbours (kNN) algorithm is a popular Machine Learning technique that can be used for a variety of supervised classification tasks. In contrast to other machine learning algorithms which "encode" the knowledge gained from training data to a set of parameters, such as weights and biases, the parameter set of a kNN classifier consists of just labelled training examples. Classification of an unlabelled example takes place by calculating its Euclidean distance (or any other type of distance metric) from all the stored training examples.
