The XPP Architecture and Its Co-simulation Within the Simulink Environment

摘要

This paper offers an overview of the XPP, a coarse-grained reconflgurable architecture, and presents a solution for its integration into a Simulink design flow for rapid prototyping. This includes a system-level co-simulation followed by the automated code generation for an embedded target platform. In order to realize this functionality, a custom Simulink module has been developed. During the co-simulation phase, it acts as a wrapper for an external simulator, whereas when code is generated, it is responsible for generating the appropriate function calls for communicating with the XPP device. Of these two aspects, only the co-simulation is considered here.
