Title: Addressing the Challenges of SoC Verification in practice using Co-Simulation

Description: Heterogeneous System on Chip (SoC) devices like the Xilinx Zynq 7000 and Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC combine a high-performance processing systems (PS) with state of the art programmable logic (PL). This combination allows system to be architected to provide an optimal solution. Verifying this interaction between the PS and PL presents a challenge to the design team. While each can be verified in isolation using QEMU for the PS and Riviera-PRO for the PL. The integration between the PS and PL all too often takes place late in the design cycle when the impact of addressing issues raised is larger in both time and cost. There is however, another way which is Co-Simulation, which can be performed early in the development cycle. This webinar will explore the challenges which are faced by SoC users, introduce the concept of Co-Simulation and its constituent parts along with demonstrating advanced debugging techniques. We will examine the required environment and pre-requisites needed to perform Co-Simulation. Detailed examples will then be presented to demonstrate basic and advanced debugging concepts. Based upon a Zynq implementing a Pulse Width Modulation IP core operating under SW control. We will look at examples which introduce basic Co-Simulation flow like waveform inspection along with advanced debugging aspects such as software and Hardware breakpoints and single stepping. These techniques will enable us to identify and debug issues which reside in both the software and hardware design. Co-Simulation enables you to develop your application faster and reduce the bring up time once the application hardware arrives for integration. This webinar will demonstrate these benefits and more which are gained when Co-Simulation is used, while demonstrating the ease with which the environment can be established and simulation performed.
