Hardware–software co-simulation of bus-based reconfigurable systems

Hardware-software co-simulation of bus-based reconfigurable systems

One of the most flexible and modular approaches to reconfigurable systems is a bus-based approach. In order to get realistic performance estimates of these systems, detailed modeling of the processor as well as the bus and memory hierarchy is required. In addition, when coupling one or more reconfigurable units with a superscalar, out-of-order issue, load/store RISC CPU using the on-chip system...

Simulation-based functional verification of dynamically reconfigurable FPGA-based systems

Dynamically Reconfigurable Systems (DRS), implemented using Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), allow hardware logic to be partially reconfigured while the rest of a design continues to operate. By mapping multiple reconfigurable hardware modules to the same physical region of an FPGA, such systems are able to time-multiplex their circuits at run time and can adapt to changing execution req...

Reconfigurable Hardware-Based Simulation Modeling of Flexible Manufacturing Systems

Reconfigurable PCI-Bus Interface (RPCI)

In this paper the Peripheral Component Interface PCI is presented as a target/master reconfigurable interface, based on Programmable Logic Devices PLDs (the Field Programmable Gate Arrays FPGAs and the Complex Programmable Logic Devices CPLDs are collectively referred to herein as PLDs). The core of the PCI interface design is implemented on the 1428 PCI-Interface board Rev. 3.00 using XC4028EX...

A Co-Simulation-and-Test Method for CAN Bus System

Simulation and test are important for the development and validation of automotive ECU (Electronic Control Unit). However, problems arise in the combination of today’s automotive control algorithm development and function test. There are lots of professional tools for simulation and test, but lack of interfacing capability between them, especially in the simulation and test of today’s automotiv...
