SoC Design and Simulation blog

As of April 2022, the Arm IP Exchange portal for Cycle Models has been discontinued. As was announced earlier this year, the Arm Cycle Models product line is transitioning to end-of-life. 

What this means for existing users:

A library package of preconfigured Cycle Models and Cycle Model reference systems is available as a binary download from the Arm Product Download Hub

Entitlement to this package is available to current Cycle Models licensees on request. 

The IP Selection Sandbox package remains available for download on Arm Product Download Hub

Entitlement to this package is available to all Hardware Success Kit licensees and all current Cycle Models users. 

Newly available:

The Arm IP Explorer represents a step-change in efficiency for the IP selection process when defining a custom System on Chip (SoC). IP Architects can shorten their IP selection process and select the right IP for their project with a higher degree of confidence and speed. 

Arm IP Explorer is a cloud-based SoC development solution created to accelerate IP selection and SoC design, making it faster and easier to find and compare Arm IP. SoC architects use Arm SoC Developer Cloud to compare power and performance, construct block diagrams, configure IP-specific options, and simulate with custom software benchmarks. Users can collaborate with Arm experts on design topics and can ask questions when needed. If additional design services are needed, the platform connects users to Arm Approved Design Partners. The platform also generates useful output for the next stage of the SoC design process including project reports containing design details and licensing information.
