基于FPGA的IP仿真验证平台(英文)

An IP Simulation and Verification Platform Based on FPGA

IP(集成电路知识产权芯核)的仿真和硬件验证是IP开发中不可缺少的环节．文中基于FPGA(现场可编程门阵列)开发了一个IP仿真验证平台,并使用PCI(外部设备互连)总线来测试IP．用户只要将自己设计的IP插入所开发的仿真验证平台,就可以方便地对IP进行测试．文中还对所设计的平台进行了软件仿真,以验证其功能,并在载有Xilinx spartan-3 600E FPGA的PCI插卡上进行上板调试．结果表明,所建立的基于FPGA的IP仿真验证平台可以对IP进行有效的仿真和验证,并具有良好的稳定性和实用价值．

The simulation and hardware verification of IP （Intellectual Property） is an indispensable step in IP development. In this paper, an IP simulation and verification platform is developed based on FPGA （ Field Programmable Gate Array）, and PCI （ Peripheral Component Interconnect） bus is used to test IP cores, Thus, a target IP inserted into the platform can be easily tested, The proposed platform is then simulated to verify the functions, and is debugged in a PCI add-on card with Xilinx Spartan-3 600E FPGA. The results show that, on the proposed FPGA-based IP simulation and verification platform, 1P can be effectively simulated and verified with good stability, which illustrates the practicability of the platform.
