Arm Socrates: 56) SI L1 Creation Flow – Part 1 (Overview)

Learn the complete SI L1 design workflow in Interconnect Architect for Arm Socrates. This introductory training video provides a high-level walkthrough of the process for creating, configuring, analyzing, and generating an SI L1 interconnect design, from initial setup through topology generation and RTL creation. In this video, you'll learn how to: Create a new SI L1 design from a blank configuration, template, or imported YAML file. Understand the relationship between High-Level Specification (HLS) and interconnect microarchitecture. Define design requirements, including interfaces, traffic paths, clock domains, and memory maps. Use NoC-SE to automatically generate an interconnect topology based on system requirements. Review and refine the generated topology in the Canvas view. Leverage built-in reports and analysis tools to evaluate and optimize your design. Use automation features that help add components and adjust topology parameters. Generate RTL and prepare your design for implementation. Whether you're new to SI L1 or looking to understand the overall Interconnect Architect design flow, this video provides a practical introduction to the tools, concepts, and stages involved in modern SoC interconnect development.
