SoC Architecture & Analysis
SoC Design begins with architectural concepts and analysis. Sessions in this track will describe the architectural choices, IP integration issues, and system analysis that define the front end of ARM IP-based SoC design.

SoC Design & Verification
These sessions will cover key aspects of the design and verification flow for ARM processor-based SoCs, from conceptual frameworks to best practices.

SoC Design for Power & Performance
As technology scales for increased circuit density and performance, the need to reduce power consumption increases in significance as designers strive to utilize the advancing silicon capabilities. In these sessions the focus will be on the techniques than can be used to match performance or power targets.

SoC IP
SoC design depends upon reusable silicon IP. These sessions will focus on both the IP qualification process and some novel new alternatives in IP for ARM processor-based SoCs.

Android / Open Source
The development tools, middleware used for native application development and turnkey solutions. Producing optimized drivers for Android, Linux, FreeRTOS etc ...

ARM Powered Future 
ARM IP is at the foundation of over 35% of all consumer electronics in the world. Supported by over 950 Partners technology advancements, design strategies and tools, software and third party IP optimized for the ARM architecture is abundant. But what does the future hold? This track details some of today's leading hardware and software technology and design solutions. Included are details on products and solutions announced at TechCon.
