Overview of the modern SoC design technologies and open softprocessor architectures

The analysis of existing platforms and tools for designing systems on chip is given. The variants of soft-processor architectures that are relevant at the current moment are considered, prospective directions of research and integration into embedded systems are determined. The overview of solutions based on the RISC-V architecture and softcore processors based on them was conducted. The existing solutions from FPGA vendors to realize the possibilities of partial reconfiguration of the system are considered. The typical problems encountered in the design of embedded systems and possible tools which can be used for requirements analysis are presented.
