QEMU-based hardware/software co-development for DAQ systems

Modern DAQ systems typically use the FPGA-based PCIe cards to concentrate and deliver data a computer used as an entry node of processing network. This paper presents QEMU-based methodology for co-development hardware part, Linux kernel driver, receiving application. approach enables quick verification FPGA firmware architecture, organization control registers, functionality user-space The developed design may be tested in different emulated architectures with changeable CPU, IOMMU, size memory, number cards.
