Engineering Change Order and Implementation

ECO (Engineering Change Order) has been a very common word in front of SoC engineers. Being dependent on verification and validation cycle, ECO can come at any point of time in design cycle. With the goal being to deliver the product to the market at pre-defined time it becomes a challenging task for the backend engineers to achieve it. Read More

Depending on the complexity of the change, sometimes it becomes difficult to manually insert the logic change directly to the Netlist. This calls for some automated way to reduce the manual effort. The paper discusses the common type of ECOs and the Conformal ECO flow.
