Hi.

I have just listened ARM hardening.
Does anyone know what is meaning ARM hardening?
 

For example, you are designing an SOC based on ARM.
ARM will provide you RTL for their processor.
Assume that you are using TSMC library.
Then you will synthesis this ARM processor RTL and other part of your SOC using TSMC library (Followed by PnR).
The process of converting ARM RTL to gdsii for a particular technology(library) that you have is called ARM hardening.
If you are using UMC fab, then you will be using UMC library for synthesis and PnR.
