AMBA2.0总线RTL、CC与PVT级模型的实现

Design and Implementation of AMBA2.0 on RTL,CC and PVT level Model

介绍了利用SystemC语言设计与完整实现AMBA2.0总线协议,在自下而上RTL,CC与PVT级的过程中用到模型设计的流程、框图、最终的测试方案与结果。该文特色在于打破了传统单一层次系统建模的局限,充分利用SystemC这个仿真平台将AMBA总线系统模型建立在不同的系统描述层次上,建立了一套跨层次的系统模型,使系统具备了很强的描述性。由于该系统模型提供了不同层次的系统仿真能力,在实践中具有很强的应用价值,而且在方法学上也提供了跨层次系统仿真建模的实例。

This paper introduces the cross-level system design method of AMBA 2.0 bus protocol using SystemC language. The cross-level model of AMBA here is based on RTL, CC and PVT. Their design is described with block diagrams, pseudo-coding, and their testing methodology. Finally, the final simulation waveforms and code-line statistics are given as the result. SystemC addres greatly to this paper as it provides a tool to cross-level system description method with good understanding of the whole system. This whole cross-level of AMBA system model can provide different levels of simulation strategies of hardware system and has its significance in practice as well as in hardware design methodology.
