SoC Design Of A X86-to-ARM Binary Translation System Basing On ARM Embedded Platform

SoC(System On a Chip)technology has now become leading one on integrated circuit design and application, with the development of the integrated circuit technologies and the improvement of integration degree. SoC productions are moving in the direction towards smaller, more powerful and more functions are integrated into a chip. ARM architecture is confronted with the problem of software when x86 architecture has plenty of softwares. This problem can be solved if the softeware basing on x86 architecture can be used by ARM architecture.According to the application of executing X86 instructions in ARM system, Smart Phone for example, a design that the binary translator integrated in ARM embedded system is introduced. AMBA AHB and AMBA APB are studied. Then based on the analysis of architectures of Multi-layer AHB which is an interconnection, and it is chosen and optimized according to the function character of the SoC system.Finally, the method of cosimulation and how the system work are introduced. It validates the feasibility and advantage of the system architecture by system simulation.
