Transaction Level Modeling with SystemC

2008-05-09T21:26:00.001-07:00

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-

2008-04-28T22:03:00.001-07:00

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

http://electronicsystemlevel.com/Book.htm

The slides are available in pdf format and very good.

SystemC/ Esl and Multithreaded System Debugging

2008-04-16T09:13:00.001-07:00

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

2008-04-08T19:34:00.001-07:00

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

2008-03-14T18:47:00.001-07:00

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

2008-02-24T21:09:00.000-08:00

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?

2008-02-04T15:01:00.001-08:00

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

VITAL Standard and System C Class Libraies

2008-01-20T11:06:00.001-08:00

Are there any commonalities between System C class Libraries and VHDL/Verilog VITAL Libraries?

Any pointers on this topic will be Highly appreciated.

PCB Layout Programs

2007-02-17T09:43:00.000-08:00

I am workig on PCB layout CAD tools called orcad and allegro.
IS there any books and tutorials that can speed up the process.
I have located some old information in Berkeley Tutorial.
any books and informaton will be useful.

I have also joined cadence Orcad discussion groups

High Level System Design with System C

2007-02-17T09:31:00.000-08:00

I am doing some research work on High Level System Design With System Ca and VHDL and Verilog. This is part of the research Work that I am doing for my Phd Thesis.

Some important discoveries and comments will be posted here.

In short I forund the Information useful form the following places.

1.0 Aldec Web Seminar on system C.
2.0 Mentor Graphics Papers on System C.
3.0 Technical Material from CMC Canada.

More on this will come later.

Hervard Busine Communication Series

2006-03-11T22:36:00.000-08:00

I am exploring Harverd business communication series and graduate courses on business communication from Sloan School of Management.

Such Courses are not providde in Canadian Emginmeering/MBA schools and I find them it is very important for Small Busines and For Keen Computter Operations.

As we dig though the materials ; I will post my finsdings.

ARM-7 Development suystems

2006-03-09T12:41:00.000-08:00

We are working on ARM-& based edevelopment system.
In particular with IVR and KEIL SYstems.
More on this later.

Aldec VHDL Simulator

2005-10-31T21:22:00.000-08:00

I am testing Aldec VHDL Simulator and Found the Tool to be extremely cost effective and useful. More on this later

Design of Embeded Telecommunications System

2005-01-09T21:59:00.000-08:00

We are designing an embeded Telecommiunication Devuice based on linux kernel.

So far our Tools Include the following

1.0 NS2 Simulator

2.0 Enbeded Linux Kernel

3.0 Sokris Network Processor Boards

4.0 Sun Solaris-8 Based Workstation.

We are working on the test and complience strategy at this point.

VHDL- 93 and Foreign Language Interface

2005-01-03T13:56:00.000-08:00

We are in Creating Vital complient VHDL Libraries. So far we have not come across any foeighn Laguage API Issues. Is there any working group that is working on that. I would love to summarize findings on the issues.
