The internship project consists of two main parallel objectives: as first, analyzing the performances of a set of IPs (Intellectual Properties) components (Ethernet, DDR RAMs, SDIO) available on the new under-development SoC by NXP®, the i.MX8DXL. Those performances are specifically related to the type of the peripheral, and are obtained thanks to a remote FPGA-based SoC simulation environment, called ZeBu® and provided by Synopsys®. On top of this, as a second but equally important goal, tests are run both bare-metal and through the usage of a real-time OS, called FreeRTOS™, whose advanced and widespread capabilities may play a crucial role in raising the silicon validation activity on a different perspective.
