Generating a SystemC Component with Carbon Model Studio Click to enlarge

Overview

Carbon Model Studio generates models which integrate directly into OSCI SystemC™ and other SystemC simulators.  The Carbon/SystemC combination enables designers to rapidly develop and assemble complete virtual platforms which can be used to explore architectural tradeoffs and perform pre-silicon software development.

Rapid Development of SystemC Components

Components generated by Carbon Model Studio automatically plug directly into SystemC.  Carbon Model Studio’s straightforward graphical user interface enables the user to quickly create a Carbon model, configure its ports to match the data types for your SystemC environment and enable software visible registers.

Accelerated Software Debug and Profiling

SystemC Components generated by Carbon Model Studio enable SystemC platforms to be assembled rapidly and accurately.  Software engineers have complete visibility into all of the Carbon Model’s software visible registers and memories.  In addition, all Carbon Models have the capability to dump waveforms.  This enables the software and hardware engineer to work together to debug complex system problems or any hardware problems which are uncovered by running software.
