A small SoC development framework to support research demonstrator designs

Example case-study of using the Arm CMSDK AMBA-AHB Bus-Matrix tools to build system-optimised interconnect.

This 4 month PhD Interdisciplinary Team Project used an Arm M7 to measure actual energy used in different forms of inference and feature extraction for keyword spotting.

A hardware Finite State Machine on-chip AMBA interconnect controller using a serial ASCII debug protocol, with functional upgrades to Version 4 to support 8-, 16- and 32-bit accesses, to facilitate off-chip validation.
