How are Smartphones, Processors, Laptops, and Software made?
Hereโs a quick look at the key stages for each (with software integration points!):
๐ฑ Smartphones:
- Idea/Concept
- Design & Prototyping
- EVT (Engineering Validation Test) โ First hardware prototypes, basic software loaded
๐ Software integration begins here!
- DVT (Design Validation Test) โ Improved prototypes, more complete software
- PVT (Production Validation Test) โ Final hardware & software, ready for mass production
- Mass Production โ Large-scale manufacturing
- Market Launch โ Released to customers
๐ฅ๏ธ Processors :
- Idea/Architecture
- Design & Simulation
- RTL Coding (Register Transfer Level) โ Hardware logic described in code
- Verification & Validation
- Tape-out โ Final chip design sent to fabrication
๐ Firmware/drivers/test software used for validation after this!
- Fabrication โ Chips made on silicon wafers
- Packaging & Testing โ Quality check
- Mass Production โ Chips produced at scale
- Integration โ Chips go into devices

How are Smartphones, Processors, Laptops, and Software made? Hereโs a quick look at the key stages for each (with software integration points!): ๐ฑ Smartphones: - Idea/Concept - Design & Prototyping - EVT (Engineering Validation Test) โ First hardware prototypesโฆ
๐ป Laptops:
- Concept/Market Research
- Design & Prototyping
- Component Selection
- EVT โ First hardware prototypes, BIOS/OS loaded
๐ Software integration begins here!
- DVT โ Improved prototypes, more complete software
- PVT โ Final hardware & software, ready for mass production
- Mass Production โ Large-scale manufacturing
- Market Launch โ Released to customers
๐ ๏ธ Software:
- Idea/Requirements
- Design
- Development (Coding)
- Alpha Testing
- Beta Testing
- RC (Release Candidate) โ Final test version before GA
- GA (General Availability) โ Final release to all users
- Maintenance & Updates
Full forms:
EVT = Engineering Validation Test
DVT = Design Validation Test
PVT = Production Validation Test
GA = General Availability
RC = Release Candidate
RTL = Register Transfer Level
Tape-out = Final chip design sent to fab
๐ก Software is integrated and tested during EVT/DVT/PVT for hardware, and after tape-out for chips!
