Content / mission

As part of its product roadmap, Silicon-Mobility is developing its new generation of System-on-Chip called OLEA® FPCU (Filed Programmable Control Unit). This innovative architectural component is based on a multi-core architecture combined with a patented real-time subsystem including an embedded programmable logic structure.

The principal goal of the internship is to build a reduced version, but functional, of the SoC including basic modules with a RISC-V CPU, interconnect network module, communication modules and more.

The following activities will be carried out during the internship:

  • Define and specify the simple SoC which will be used as a template.
  • Create the Top-Level using our Top-Level creator tool.
  • Validate it with integration tests (RTL simulation).
  • Implement the start new project function in our Top-Level creator tool.
  • Elaborate User Guide explaining the different steps of SoC integration from scratch using the start new project function.

For this internship, we are looking for a student in the field of microelectronics.

  • Good knowledge of SoC design and architecture and application software development
  • Autonomy, rigor, strong team spirit, strong problem-solving skills
  • A good level of English is required.
