  7. Main Topics • Architecture description (Coware, Magillem) • Components and platform description • Code generation (makefile, netlist, etc.) • SystemC/TLM LT virtual platform evaluation • Hardware requirement validation • Early software development • Functional safety • assertion based verification (PSL) • Monitors/checkers generation (ISIS) • Certification • Requirement traceability 1st Phase 2nd Phase Workshop - November 2011

  8. Plan • Socket Process & Airbus application • First Phase : • Models Development • Platform Integration (Hw/Sw) • Second Phase : • ISS Open Source alternatives • Conclusion Workshop - November 2011

  9. 1st Phase • Study Case specification • Coware tool experiment • SystemC TLM-PV models development • tsip, sgdma, timer, and uart modules • ARM Coware/Synopsys cpu model • Models and virtual platform validation with specific software • Application software development on virtual platform Workshop - November 2011

  10. 1st Phase • PlateformassemblywithCoware Workshop - November 2011

  11. 1st Phase • Simulation and results Workshop - November 2011

  12. 1st Phase • Hardware validation team feedback • Debug hardware behaviour with software tools • Halt and Resume • Freeze and Restore real time processing • 100% Visibility & Control • State machines • Variables • Buses • Tracing and logging • Golden Reference Platform • Consolidate platform evolution • Early validation of specifications Workshop - November 2011

  13. 1st Phase • Application software team feedback • Develop & Validate low level software sooner • Debug software with same tools than real platform • One time tool ramp-up • Debugging real world “utilities” (parsers, compilers, debugger scripts ...) • Mixed Hardware/Software Breakpoints • SW : instruction / data | HW : event / signal / bus data • Freeze & Restore real time execution • Get visibility not available on real SoC platform Workshop - November 2011

  14. 2nd Phase Motivation • End of Coware tool experiment • Need to find CPU Model • Need to find Bus Model • Need a way to rebuilt the platform • Need to implement traceability in SystemC models • Need to add monitors in the platform to increase safety IP-XACT in the design flow for embedded airborne electronic equipment development ABV in the avionicscontext: verification of safetyrequirements Workshop - November 2011

  15. Plan • Socket Process & Airbus application • First Phase : • Models Development • Platform Integration (Hw/Sw) • Second Phase : • ISS Open Source alternatives • Conclusion Workshop - November 2011

  16. 2nd Phase • Investigation for ARM Coware model replacement • ISS generator Trap-gen • TLM2 compatible bus model development • Magillem tool experiment • Components IP-XACT description • Platform Assembly • Code generation from IP-XACT files • NetlistSystemC • SystemC skeleton compatible with SCML2 Library • Makefile to compile platform • Traceability • Safety, SystemC monitors generation with ISIS Tool (TIMA) Workshop - November 2011

  18. ISS alternative : Investigation • ISS needs : • Open source Licence • Moderate performance • OSCI TLM2 Sockets • Lowvirtualplatformintegration effort • Support GDB debugger • Active devellopement • Investigations : • QEMU • OVP • ORK1SIM • TRAP-GEN Workshop - November 2011

  19. ISS alternative : QEMU • http://wiki.qemu.org/Main_Page • From ST Webex : • Major breakthroughwith 0.13 • The libqemu.a no longer exists (not built, and API obsolete) • The License is not clear (GPL/LGPL) • Memory must be internal to QEMU (performance) • Wrapping in TLM needs modifications inside QEMU • Complex TLM platform not easy to connect to QEMU Workshop - November 2011

  20. ISS alternative : OVP • http://www.ovpworld.org/ • Open Virtual Platform • A lot of models : ARM, MIPS, PowerPC, SPARK • Support TLM2 sockets • Support GDB • Can boot linux • Open source models but simulator isonly free for non commercial use. Workshop - November 2011

  21. ISS alternative : Ork1sim • www.embecosm.com : • Application note : Building a Loosely Timed SoC Model with OSCI TLM 2.0: A Case Study Using an Open Source ISS and Linux 2.6 Kernel • Tutorial based on Or1ksim ISS http://opencores.org/openrisc,or1ksim • Implement TLM2 Sockets • Support GDB remote debugger • Support temporal decoupling • Can boot Linux • Memoriesinside ISS Workshop - November 2011

  22. ISS alternative : Trapgen • http://code.google.com/p/trap-gen/ • LGPL open source Licence • Generate multiple ISS from one architecture specification Workshop - November 2011

  23. ISS alternative : Trapgen • Generated ISS • OSCI TLM2 Sockets interface • Use SystemCscheduler • OS Emulator (system calls redirection) • Just in time compilation • Support interruptmodeling • Support GDB interface • Support multiprocessing • ISS examples : LEON 2/3, ARM 7/9, Microblaze • Drawbacks : • No cache or MMU models • Not a lot of feedback, but active development (LEON3) Workshop - November 2011

  24. ISS alternative : Trapgen • ARM9TDMI Model Selected • Source code modification needed • Interrupts IRQ ,FIQ port activation • CPU mode changing instruction bug • Register definition bug • Generated ISS Interrupt ports uses SystemC/TLM sockets • Need to modify timer, sgdmairq ports. • Custom ISS development possible with minimum effort Workshop - November 2011

  25. Plan • Socket Process & Airbus application • First Phase : • Models Development • Platform Integration (Hw/Sw) • Second Phase : • ISS Open Source alternatives • Conclusion Workshop - November 2011

  26. Global Results • Productivity gain • Early hardware architecture validation • Early software development • Easy platform duplication and distribution (executable file) • Complexity management • Better observability than real platform • HW/SW CoDebug • Safety and certification credit improvement (ex : fault injection) • Virtual Prototyping not Only for SoC technologies BUT also for Embedded Computer development • Data perenity • Use of standard : SystemC/TLM, IP-XACT, PSL • Potential bridges others languages, as SysML, SystemVerilog Workshop - November 2011
