The objective of this work is to design a System on Chip (SoC) using a software tool, Magillem 2.3SE.
Answers to questions related to this design activity, IP reuse, IP integration, hardware design flow and
software refinement will be found in this report. A general platform (satellite computer) has been
implemented using both IPs provided by the tool plus already developed ones related to ESA.
In order to validate both the design methodology and the tool the SoC has been tested on a Xilinx FPGA.
AMBA and OCP standards are used for communication in the SoC during this development. SpaceWire is
used for external communication.
