A Methodology for Platform Based High—Level System—on—Chip Verification

摘要

The time-to-market challenge has increased the need for shortening the co-verification time in system-on-chip development.In this article,a new methodology of high-level hardware/software coverification is introduced.With the help of the real-time operating system,the application program can easily be migrated from the software simulator to the hardware emulation board.The hierarchical architecture can be used to separate application program from the implementation of the platform during the veriflaction process.The highlevel verification platform is successfully used in developing the HDTV decoding chip.
