The Soc Hardware And Software Co-verification System Front-end System Design And Implementation

With the development of the ASIC and the semiconductor technics, the large scale SoC system is becoming complexer, and its scheduling is becoming exactituder.Only using the traditional soft tools can't satisty the requirement of the emulator and validate needed by the large scale SoC system.The hardware which is the strong tools for debugging and developping becomes more important.The system for validation with the soft and hardware is the direction of the developping in the future..The system for validation with the soft and hardware is compose of the control machine,former system and the back-end system.The function of the former system is transimiting the data between the control machine and the back-end system.This paper is recite the design and implement of the communication subsystem of the Soc validate system.This paper first analyzes the requirement of the SoC validation system based on the ARM9 platform. The main work include rebuilding the startup code,configuring the kernel of the Linux OS, implementing the device driver and the application.The emphases is rebuiling the startup code and adding the module,drawing the communication protocol and implementing the device driver and the application.The former system is applied in the SoC validation system.It can trammint the data between the controlle machine and the back-end system. When the system breakdown,it can filtrate the wrong data,sometimes it can reset the module. In term of the system feature it implement the auto configure of the last information. SoC validate system has passed checking,and has haven its own property right. Now it is put into the work.
