To enable full operating system support in megaSoC, a substantial amount of memory is required to accommodate the complexity of modern Linux-based software stacks, including the kernel, drivers, middleware, and user-space applications. Linux environments, unlike lightweight bare-metal systems such as nanoSoC, demand not only larger memory footprints but also consistent access to high-bandwidth memory to maintain performance across multitasking workloads. The most common approach is to incorporate external DRAM, which offers the necessary capacity and throughput.

On-chip SRAM in ASICs can use a significant area, which equates to a significant cost. One solution is to make the memory off-chip. This project explores the use of Arm IP to create an SRAM chiplet design. The benefit  is that standard memory chiplets can be fabricated at lower cost and used across multiple projects, miminising silicon area to the unique project needs.
