A different department at my company handles the ARM licensing. I think we need to generate some AHB/AXI interconnect blocks, but in order to produce the synthesizeable RTL, we need an AMBA_Designer license. (We already have an SOC designer, ARM compiler/assembler environment.)
Due to some stupid politics, I'm trying to find out what it'd cost the company to acquire the necessary license to run AMBA_Designer, yearly maintenance. Then I can go to the project lead and beg, beg, beg. Is this a fixed price, or based on other ARM-IP we've already licensed (Cortex R4)?
