A Hardware Software Cosimulation Backplane with Automatic Interface Generation
نویسندگان
چکیده
| A hardware software cosimulation environment is developed using the backplane approach. This paper de nes the backplane protocol for communication and synchronization between client simulators to seamlessly integrate a new simulator without modi cation. Automatic interface generation facility is also devised for more e ective cosimulation environment. The environment is implemented based on Ptolemy and validated with QAM example run on different con gurations.

Interface Design of VHDL Simulation for Hardware-Software Cosimulation
To perform cosimulation, an interface design of VHDL simulation is needed. This interface is responsible for communicating packets between any VHDL simulator and the cosimulation backplane, PeaCE, which is a Ptolemy extension as codesign environment. The interface also manages the simulation for correct timed cosimulation. By the automatic interface generation mechanism, the interface is genera...

متن کاملA Survey of Hw/sw Cosimulation Techniques and Tools Contents
In the last decade, electronic systems have become increasingly complex. The number of func-tionalities built on one chip have risen enormously. To solve the problem of cost and flexibility for such sophisticated, systems the usage of mixed hardware software systems has increased. Due to the complexity, the system development has become more and more difficult and the simulation and evaluation ...
