The design of embedded processor circuits for the control of electromechanical systems, in a unified environment, offers many advantages including reduced system design and debug cycles and shorter time to market. Simulation plays a very important role in such a design methodology. In this paper, we will present, a brief description of the design methodology of our research team which focuses on the co-simulation of various heterogeneous parts. More specifically, we will present a couple of flexible interfaces that have been implemented for bridging VHDL with Physical Systems Simulators as well as VHDL simulators with the application programs that control the digital circuit simulated in VHDL. The basic concepts and features used for these implementations are characterised by increased portability, while other significant advantages of the proposed schemes are their speed, their flexibility in supporting various communication protocols and the simplified and fully automated simulation procedure which is transparent to the user. |
