- osivertsson 10y agoGeographically seperated teams, is that normal when developing successful smartphone SoCs? Or does it in general work as good as developing software at multiple sites? I remember working with ST's IPTV chips that were designed all over Europe, and bugs that involved the interaction between muliple hardware blocks were a disaster to get support on.
- williadc 10y agoI've never worked on a successful smartphone SoC, so I couldn't tell you. I have worked on successful client parts (Haswell, Broadwell, Apollo Lake) that were similarly separate and we were able to divide the work sufficiently to make the multi-geo effort work.
