For a chiplet system, you need a communication interface between chiplets. The industry has developed standards that require complicated IPs around UCIe and the CHI interface from Arm. For many academic projects these are probably more complicated than needed . The aim of this project is to produce a simple chiplet communications interface based around the open standard AXI protocol.

Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) are planar structures composed of large arrays of tunable elements that can dynamically redirect, reflect, or shape wireless signals in the environment.

The PCK600 Arm IP provides components to allow a power control infrastructure to be distributed in a SoC in order to make a design energy efficient. Arm provide the IP as part of their Power Control System Architecture that can be used to control the power states of various parts of the system. This control of the power infrastructure is achieved through the use of the Power Policy Unit (PPU). This unit has an APB interface to allow for software control, and some low power interfaces that can connect to the power controllable IP within the system.

This project aims to develop an advanced RF energy harvesting (EH) receiver chip specifically designed to power embedded sensors for monitoring the condition of groceries during transportation. The receiver chip captures wireless energy transmitted from phased array antennas and converts it into electrical power that is used to operate onboard sensors, which continuously monitor critical parameters such as temperature and humidity inside delivery trucks.

Stroke and epilepsy are among the most common debilitating neurological conditions, with a worldwide prevalence of 100 million people (World Stroke Organization, 2022) and 50 million people (World Health Organization, 2024), respectively. Present-day approaches for treating neurological and neurosurgical conditions include physiotherapy, pharmacological treatment, surgical excision, and interventions such as deep brain stimulation.

In the context of Industry 4.0, handwritten digit recognition plays a vital role in numerous applications such as smart banking systems and postal code detection. One of the most effective approaches to tackle this problem is through the use of machine learning and neural network models, which have demonstrated impressive accuracy and adaptability in visual pattern recognition tasks.

Aspen is a unified accelerator for deep neural network (DNN)-based extended reality perception workloads. Aspen proposes a mixed-precision quantization scheme using the posit datatype to reduce memory usage while maintaining accuracy, a DNN accelerator for mixed-precision posit datatypes, and efficient data prefetching and data layout to minimize data reorganization. The Aspen system-on-chip has an Arm Cortex-M3 CPU, a mixed-precision posit-based DNN accelerator, and 4 megabytes of SRAM partitioned into eight 512 KB banks, connected through a 128-bit-wide interconnect.

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. 

megasoc has been designed to provide a complex SoC component that can 'host' and support the development and evaluation of research components or subsystems. The design allows for seamless transition from FPGA to physical silicon implementation via a pre-verified programmable control system that allows reuse of software and diagnostic functionality to facilitate the configuration, control and diagnostic analysis of research hardware such as custom accelerators or signal processing.
