“…HW/SW co-design is conducted for complex algorithm implementations in a system on a chip (SoCs), which integrates the synergy of hardware and software intending to optimize design constraints such as performance and power of the implementation [42], [43]. The Xilinx Zynq Processing System consists of a SoC style integrated processing system (PS) and a programmable logic (PL) unit, providing an extensible and flexible SoC solution on a single chip [42]. In this study, the Kalman-MPPT is implemented with hardware PL unit and the dual-core ARM PS is used for the DAB-converter control as illustrated in Figure 3.…”

The design of digital hardware controllers for the integration of renewable energy sources in DC microgrids is a research topic of interest. In this paper, a Kalman filter-based maximum power point tracking algorithm is implemented in an FPGA and adapted in a dual active bridge (DAB) converter topology for DC microgrids. This approach uses the Hardware/Software (HW/SW) co-design paradigm in combination with a pipelined piecewise polynomial approximation design of the Kalman-maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm instead of traditional lookup table (LUT)-based methods. Experimental results reveal a good integration of the Kalman-MPPT design with the DAB-based converter, particularly during irradiation and temperature variations due to changes in weather conditions, as well as a goodbalanced hardware design in complexity and area-time performance compared to other state-of-art FPGA designs.

“…Hardware architectures and the software stacks that drive them need to be validated together for higher productivity and reduced time to market. Unfortunately, the traditional development process allows integrating and validating hardware/software (HW/SW) only after hardware development is finished and the first silicon samples are available [1]. To overcome such a limitation, various techniques in HW/SW co-design with or without hardware models were proposed [2].…”

As the System-on-Chip (SoC) complexity increases, hardware/software co-design plays an important role to improve design productivity, reduce time to market, and optimize the overall results. Consequently, there is a high interest in providing rapid system validation in such a paradigm to achieve the aforementioned objectives. There exist in previous works prototyping techniques related to the development phase. FPGA-based prototyping has the benefits of enabling HW/SW integration and system validation after the Register Transfer Level (RTL) implementation is available while virtual platforms provide capabilities to accelerate software development with higher level functional models, e.g. Transaction Level Modeling (TLM). In this paper, we propose a hybrid prototyping methodology which takes advantage of virtual and FPGA-based prototyping in a single framework. We aim to provide a rapid and flexible system validation solution for HW/SW co-design at various stages of development based on the availability of TLM and RTL implementations. The proposed methodology allows online and offline performance analysis and debugging for early feedback in HW/SW architecture exploration. This was evaluated in the experiments with a neural network processor as a case study.
