SoC Development Platform Prototyping Next-Gen SoC Designs on 14nm

The Faraday OSKit™ A600 SoC development platform is built on ARM Cortex-A53 processor at Samsung Foundry’s 14LPP FinFET process. It features a quad-core Cortex-A53 and integrates multiple high-speed interfaces, including LPDDR4/4X, PCIe Gen4, Gigabit Ethernet, and USB 2.0 OTG. The platform also incorporates Faraday’s Root of Trust IP (Soteria), delivering a multi-function hardware security engine and multi-stage security protection.

OSKit™ A600 enables seamless verification of system-level logic architecture by interfacing with an FPGA containing the target design, significantly shortening the overall ASIC development cycle and accelerating time to market.
