The benefits of a standard socket for SoC design are numerous. OCP-IP provides the tools and services to its members that are necessary for convenient implementation, maintenance and support of the standard socket interface. Their focus is strictly on adoption and implementation of the OCP socket and plug and play SoC design methodology. They believe a standard is only proven through real-world implementations. Many of their founding members, companies with world-class SoC design expertise in their own right, have already adopted OCP and have used it in production SoC designs. OCP-IP has much to offer its members. They give their customers the tools, training and technical support necessary to quickly begin making their IP cores OCP-compliant and ready for rapid SoC integration with other compliant third-party IP.
