Scheme for Partitioned Co-emulation using Multi PYNQ-Z1 boards

摘要

Co-emulation that is accessible to groups and institutions with low budget has been inaccessible. This work presents a scheme to make possible the use of PYNQ environment and PYNQ-Z1 boards and be used on projects with partitioned hardware design on multiple boards, thru an ethernet network. The collaboration is made possible by a developed interface that is implemented with Remote Procedure Call, and traverses from System Verilog, thru DPI, Python and the processing system of the PYNQ and back. The scheme was functionally tested with a partitioned processor and exercised to verify correct functionality.
