Method and apparatus for hardware and software co-simulation

摘要

A method apparatus for hardware and software co-simulation in ASIC development includes developing hardware and software concurrently and co-simulating the hardware and software therebetween via a network while the hardware and software are being developed. The method and apparatus for hardware and software co-simulation allows the software development and testing of hardware and software to start with the design of hardware so as to reduce an overall system development cycle involving ASICs.
