Role & Missions

As part of the development of its product offering, Silicon-Mobility has developed a new SOC (System On Chip) prototype. This SOC embeds a new debug solution called ELA (Embedded Logic Analyzer) which allows the user to trace hardware signals inside the chip. This ELA is an ARM® solution that can be configured through a Lauterbach® environment (the leading debug environment in the industry).

The proposed internship addresses the need for the user of this new feature to easily configure it. Thus, the goal of the internship is to develop a graphical interface inside the Lauterbach environment to configure the ELA.

The following activities will be carried out during the internship:

  • Analysis of the role of the ELA in the SOC and the debug environment.
  • Discussion with the system team to design the interface and write a user guide.
  • Develop test cases to test various ELA configurations.
  • Develop the interface itself (this will be done using the Lauterbach scripting language – knowing this language is not required)

 

This internship will be particularly interesting for the intern who will practice on a real SOC on a test board. Thus, this is a very good way to take a first step in the embedded system world.
