Method and device for constructing operating environment of software and hardware co-simulation accelerator

Abstract

The invention provides a method and device for constructing an operating environment of a software and hardware co-simulation accelerator. The method comprises the steps of receiving a user's to-be-tested design file, a test file and a parameter information file, analyzing the user's to-be-tested design file, the test file and the parameter information file to generate a configuration information file, and sending the configuration information file; receiving the configuration information file and the user's to-be-tested design file, and constructing the operating environment of the software and hardware co-simulation accelerator according to the configuration information file and the user's to-be-tested design file. According to the method and device for constructing the operating environment of the software and hardware co-simulation accelerator, an SCE-MI protocol can be completely unified on the basis of a current design language, an interface of the software and hardware co-simulation accelerator is standardized conveniently, and data exchange between the test file and the user's to-be-tested design file is facilitated. An SCE-MI parameter file to a large extent enables the implementation of a follow-up software interface to be separated from hardware. The operating environment of the software and hardware co-simulation accelerator can be constructed automatically, and the software and hardware co-simulation treatment efficiency and technical development are greatly accelerated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of software-hardware co-simulation, in particular to a method for building an operating environment for a software-hardware co-simulation accelerator and a device for building an operating environment for a software-hardware co-simulation accelerator. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of integrated electronic circuits, the complexity of IC (Integrated Circuit, integrated circuit) design is also increasing, and there is an urgent need for a new technology that can overcome the defects of high hardware imitation cost and slow software emulation speed. In this context, hardware-software co-simulation has been continuously mentioned, but there is no mature software-hardware co-simulation technology, and the hardware-software co-simulation accelerator still has the problem of single function. [0003] With the proposal of the SCE-MI (Standard Co-Emulation Modeling Interface, Standard Co-Emu...
