Advances in SoC design complexities require newer methodologies and tools. Traditional RTL-level approach has become a bottleneck, resulting in emergence and standardization of SystemC as a design-language. IP design-houses are interested in providing SystemC models of their portfolio IPs, despite already existing VHDL views. This paper describes a methodology to translate existing VHDL IPs to SystemC, ensuring correctness, quality as well as maintainability of the translated code. The standard practice is to translate a subset of IPs at a time and cosimulate with the rest of the system to validate the translated IPs. Hence, this paper explores scenarios that affect the cosimulation performance. Varying cosimulation scenarios affect the performance upto 30%. Both the contributions of this paper, translation methodology and the cosimulation performance-analysis are relevant to a wider SystemC community, including designers and architects. Furthermore, the results can be used for optimizing cosimulation tools as well system-level-models.

“…The open-source nature and popularity of the SystemC kernel makes it a good candidate for cosimulation with analog and mixed-signal simulators. Efficient co-simulation schemes between SystemC and Simulink are presented in [7], [8] and [9]. Co-simulation schemes between SystemC and the analog circuit simulators Spice and Saber are presented in [10] and [11] respectively.…”

A crucial part in the development of embedded systems in the industrial automation domain is their verification using simulation-based techniques. A comprehensive set of domain-specific modeling and simulation tools are available for this purpose, but they can only focus on certain aspects of a design. This paper presents a co-simulation framework for bringing them together in a structured and standardized way. The results are multi-domain virtual platforms where overall dynamic verification is possible. The advantage of multi-domain simulation models becomes clear when one recalls that embedded systems are used to interface with a physical environment. Often, they are coupled and cannot be tested in separation. Having a framework where physical and digital domains can interact in a correct and reproducible manner opens up new possibilities for embedded system developers. We demonstrate the capabilities of our framework by adding a co-simulation scheme between SystemC and the VHDL-AMS simulator SMASH, and present its application in an industrial case study for the verification of a new Rogowski Current Coil Transducer (RCCT) electronic front end architecture and its embedded controller software algorithm.
