I can relate to the article; I&#x27;ve been working for a year to make a new ARM based SoC architecture for a vendor, mostly for industrial purpose. It&#x27;s already quite a chunk of work.
Just designing the clock tree, pinmux, fancy DMA -- let alone the individual &#x27;custom&#x27; IPs for peripherals is enough to keep a handful of dev busy for a while!<p>But, I have to say, it&#x27;s quite fun too!
