Method and apparatus for implementing communication between a software side and a hardware side of a test bench in a transaction-based acceleration verification system

摘要

Method and apparatus for implementing communication between a software side and a hardware side of a test bench in a transaction-based acceleration verification system are described. In one example, transactors and communication channels are identified in a hierarchy of the test bench. Software side endpoints of the communication channels are automatically bound to hardware side endpoints of the communication channels during verification based on naming attributes of the transactors and communication channels with respect to the software side and the hardware side of the test bench.
