SoC Software And Hardware Co-design Verification Based On Multi-operating System

With the promotion of the technological level of deep sub-micron of the integrated circuit, the electronic products market of the design function of a highly integrated system-on-chip (System-on-Chip, SoC) demands even more urgent.In this trend of SoC design in order to lower the unit cost of production to meet demand for fast, high-performance chips, the design will adopt a number of mature and stable intellectual property to integrate in a single chip to raise the design speed.Have improved functional complexity of chip system therefore rapidly, the link has composed a major challenge at the same time also to the verification of the chip designs.Therefore, in order to effectively guarantee the silicon chip success tape out, study proposes the scientific high-performance SoC design verification strategy, and based on chip system's specific features implement the full complete verification.In this paper, SoC verification link in the analysis of the core issues. First of all, based on the characteristics of SoC design, from verifying purpose, verifying method technological process and verifying environment of the three aspects of the environment of hardware and software co-design verification strategy, and takes the research background implementation confirmation work based on the ARM SoC chip topic. The full paper with the hierarchical verification strategy to verify the beginning of class from the module level to improve authentication level, and ultimately the application of system-level verification. FPGA-based prototype verification platform provides a system verification environment, uses the embedded operating system software and hardware system SoC co-verification method, for two typical real-time embedded operating systemμCOS-II andμCLinux implementation of transplantation, and by virtue of the application of the verification process for SoC design resources the implementation of authentication. Through the analysis of verification results can be drawn, based on the operating system to verify the hardware and software co-design strategy for the design of SoC system design verification to ensure effective, visible not only shortened the verification cycle, validate and improve the reusability of design resources .
