Unicad system2RTL<br />
Proposed approach<br />
SoC Architecture (SoC TLM platform)<br />
– Corresponds to contract between embedded software and hardware<br />
– Accurately models<br />
register banks<br />
data transfers<br />
system synchronizations<br />
– Simulation speed at expense of accuracy<br />
Require light-weight modeling effort<br />
SoC Micro-architecture (SoC RTL platform)<br />
– Accurately models cycles, protocols, IP internal states, etc.<br />
– Accuracy at expense of speed<br />
Reuse RTL (VHDL/Verilog) models to reduce development cost<br />
No multiplication of models, only RTL and TLM<br />
