Abstract
Electronic Industry is moving toward design and realization of “systems-on-silicon”. This kind of integrated circuit is generally built around a processor core. Logic functions are added to this core in order to realize an Application Specific Integrated Processor (ASIP).
In signal processing domain, a simulation of such a systems necessitates very long digital patterns. Then, timing validation by means of a simulator can become prohibitive. In order to cope with this problem, a prototyping system has been developed. It allows concurrent validation of the hardware and software under development. It is based on a well known Digital Signal Processor (TMS320C40) and on reconfigurable digital circuits (XILINX XC4013).
