Virtual platform models of processor IP cores
Carbon Design Systems is collaborating with MIPS Technologies to create and distribute virtual platform models of MIPS's processor intellectual property (IP) cores for architectural analysis.
Carbon's processor models are generated from the production register transfer level (RTL) code for each MIPS core.
The company said the resulting models will deliver 100 per cent cycle accuracy.
The models and virtual platforms will feature integration with gdb and the MIPS Navigator integrated component suite (ICS) to enable interactive debug and analysis.
Models of MIPS processor IP and corresponding virtual platforms from Carbon are compiled directly from the implementation RTL code and maintain 100 per cent functional accuracy.
Configuration and generation of the models can be done at any time using Carbon's IP Exchange web portal.
Models are designed for use in Carbon's SoC Designer Plus virtual platform and can execute as part of a SystemC or RTL simulation environment.
Models of the MIPS32 M14K and M14Kc cores are now available; additional processors will be released regularly.
