FC IP软核的仿真与验证

Function Simulation and FPGA Verification for FC IP Core

基于FC通信协议处理的SoC设计中,FC IP核的仿真验证是其基础。文中概要介绍了FC协议,通过分析其层次架构,明确了软硬件交汇点,从而给出了FC通信协议处理SoC中FC IP的基本功能定义。在此基础上,简单介绍了FC-IP的设计,描述了IP的逻辑结构及模块功能。对于FC-IP的仿真验证,从基于testbench的功能仿真和基于FPGA平台的软硬件协同验证两方面进行了全面介绍。结果证明IP实现了预定功能,符合设计要求。

The simulation and verification of FC IP is the fundamental work of the design of the SoC for fibre channel protocol process. In this paper, the fibre channel protocol is briefly introduced first and the basic function definition of FC IP in the SoC is presented after defining the software hardware interface through analysis of the architecture. Then the implementation of FC IP is simply explained. The logic structure and function of modules is described. The simulation and verification of FC IP is detailedly discussed focusing on the testbench based functional simulation and FPGA- based software and hardware coverification. It is proved that the FC - IP has fully imple- mented the specified function and meets the design requirements.
