Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method is provided for processing a circuit design having first and second sets of ports configured to couple to respective first and second sets of ports of a device on a hardware platform. In a data-acquisition mode, the circuit design is simulated using a user-selectable plug-in that couples the ports of the circuit design to an interface circuit. During the simulation, the interface circuit communicates data between respective ports of the circuit design and ports of the device. In a deployment mode, the circuit design is implemented in the hardware platform, in which the first and second sets of ports of the circuit design are respectively coupled to the first and second sets of ports of the device.
Abstract:
A method is provided for simulating a program executable by a processor and a circuit design configured to communicate with the processor. A processor on a programmable IC is configured to execute the program. Programmable resources on the programmable IC are configured to implement a plurality of interface circuits. Each of the interface circuits is configured to communicate data between the processor and a simulation environment using a respective communication protocol. The interface circuits that uses a communication protocol used by the circuit design is enabled and other ones of the interface circuits are disabled. The circuit design is simulated in a simulation environment coupled to the programmable IC. During the simulating, the program is executed on the processor and data is communicated between the processor and the computing platform using the determined one of the plurality of interface circuits.
Abstract:
A method relating generally to computer aided design is disclosed. In such method, a block-based model of a hardware realizable system is obtained. An internal gateway-in and an internal gateway-out of a module of the block-based model are identified. An interface protocol is assigned for the internal gateway-in and the internal gateway-out. Data type and data propagation for the module at the internal gateway-in and the internal gateway-out are analyzed. The internal gateway-in and the gateway-out are transformed into an input/output interface. Integrated code is generated for subsequent realization of the input/output interface in hardware.
Abstract:
A circuit design is created in a computer memory in response to user input to a computer processor. The circuit design has a static portion. A virtual socket is instantiated in the circuit design in response to user input, and one or more reconfigurable modules are instantiated in the virtual socket in response to user input. The static portion of the circuit design is coupled to the one or more reconfigurable modules, and configuration data are generated from the circuit design. The configuration data include a configuration bitstream corresponding to the static portion of the circuit design and one or more partial configuration bitstreams corresponding to the one or more reconfigurable modules.
