Verification Platform for FPGA Based Architecture

摘要

System on Chip (SoC) refers to a system designed by integrating Intellectual Property (IP) cores such as CPUs, DSPs and various other high end functions on a single chip. Traditional simulation and emulation techniques for verification of such chips has become unaffordable due to increasing complexity, high cost, more time to market and large number of scenarios required to cover absolute verification. This paper describes new verification platform for complex embedded systems based on FPGA. The robustness and re-use capability of proposed approach makes it applicable at different integration levels and different phases of the project life cycle. Experiment and performance analysis on Radar Signal Processing module proves the effectiveness of the proposed platform.
