Case Study: Allwinner Technology achieves high-performance SoC validation and accelerated development with Synopsys HAPS FPGA-Based Prototyping Systems

Allwinner Technology Selects Synopsys HAPS FPGA-Based Prototyping System for Their Largest Application Processor SoC Design

Allwinner Technology is a leading fabless design house in China that develops application processor SoCs and analog ICs for tablets, mobile devices and power management. For its A80 Octa—an advanced SoC combining quad-core Cortex‑A15 and quad‑core Cortex‑A7 in an ARM big.LITTLE configuration plus a GPU—Allwinner faced the challenge of high-performance hardware validation for a complex multi‑CPU/GPU design to mitigate cost and schedule risks.

Allwinner selected the Synopsys HAPS FPGA‑based prototyping system to provide the throughput and fidelity needed for system‑level validation. HAPS enabled deeper validation in less time, reduced ASIC design risk and cut months off the development schedule, while Synopsys’ hardware, software and documentation lowered engineering effort and provided strong technical support.
