In this works, we describe the design methodology using the existing commercial IP for fast SoC implementation. We focus on the individual IP verification methods and the virtual verification of overall embedded systems. Using this virtual validation block, we can implement and test every component, which are impossible to verify on real worlds like timing critical I/O devices. Also we can reduce the HDL simulation time. Based on proposed methodology, we designed a 32-bit RISC embedded chip (SCIX-1) for multiple IC card interfaces. SCIX-1 supporting Windows CE accommodates a variety of electronic purses and credit cards. And it contains a high performance 32-bit ARM7TDMI core as a chip suited to the IC card reader complying with the international standard (ISO7816). Thus, we demonstrate the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed methodology.
