Transaction Level Modeling with SystemC

 

I ma reading Transaction Level Modeling with system C- Frank Ghenassia( editor)

It is a bunch of Papers from ST Microelectonics from France.

ISBN- 0-387-26232-6

ESL Design and Verfication-

I am reading ESl Design and Verification-ISBN13-978-0-12-373551-5

The book is  good for survey reading  and comes  from Industry.

I will request you to look at the slides of the book for quick review

The slides are available in pdf  format and very good.

SystemC/ Esl and Multithreaded System Debugging

I am collection procedures that are used for SystemC/ESL and Multithreaded Debugging. All pointers will be Appreciated.

I will summarize the results once I have gathered all the pointers.

Transaction Level Modeling

I am trying to Create summary report, why transaction level modeling in system design is important and how it differs from cycle accurate modeling of Hardware Design.

I am actually reading the Gajski's paper

System Modeling- Axel Jantsch

Any one seriously working in Hardware Software Co-Design and SOC related Research must read Axel's Books and his Lecturs.

I like the theoretical underpinning of his work:

System C 2.2.0

I am installing System C on a Redhat Linux 8.0 System.
I understand redhat 8 will be compatible to run the system. All Experiences will be posted here.

1.0 The installation Make file is encountering error while installing QT .
At present I am fighting with the Makefile and see what I can do.

Found a solutions- couple of config files did not have the +x execution turned on. That fixed the Compiler Problem. What a waste of human life- it took about 8 hours to track this one. Hardware guys have to learn to make better gmake files.

The system now crashing for sysmc.h include files- yikes.
I am fighting with this one, looks like a great way to spend the Saturday.
I am just curious, why system C does not have a decent Wiki. What is the problem?

I have a feeling that embedded system types are reluctant to embrace technology. a friend of mine has disconnected Internet for his Development system- Go figure.

IS ESL just another Buzzward?

Do real Engineers care about ESL? More on this comming later
