Title:

Recent Experience on an ESL Framework for Rapid Design Exploration using Hardware-Software Codesign for ARM based FPGAs

Abstract:

Advances in Electronic System Level design of the last few years are reflected in tools and methodologies. This paper shows how our ESL platform, called SpaceStudio, has expanded support for recent standards that have emerged such as SystemC TLM-2.0 and IEEE 1685 (IP-XACT) and incorporated novel research in virtual platform modeling, performance monitoring, hardware/software co-design and co-synthesis - all capabilities necessary to create modern multiprocessor embedded systems, particularly for the upcoming Xilinx Zynq (Extensible Processing Platform) family based on ARM Cortex-A9.
