Abstract
An SIP for performing a plurality of hard and soft functions comprises standard IC die and custom platforms mounted to a substrate. Die are identified for each standard hard function, such as memory, processing, I/O and other standard functions and one or more user-configurable base platforms are selected that, when configured, execute the custom soft functions. Optionally, the substrate is laminated to the die and the platforms are attached to the substrate. Testing is performed by defining the configured base platforms coupled to logic representing the die and their connections and performing placement and timing closure on the combination.
