“…There are classical reconfigurable devices with fine grain such as PLA, FPGA, CPLD, and there are also contemporary device with coarser grain such field programmable ALU (FPAA) [7], or Proteus [8]. Example of this type of platform is Platform described by K.Adaeis [9]. This platform has 4 FPGAs, some fixed lines between FPGA, and some lines which are shared between FPGAs.…”

As the complexity of SoC is increasing, prototyping becomes more and more suitable than simulation to validate the design. Reconfigurable platform is the solution to attain this prototyping in realistic cost and time. Unfortunately, most of the reconfigurable platforms have fixed communication network. This property becomes a restriction to implement the nowadays applications which have very complex and sophisticated communication network. In this paper, we present a novel approach for embedded application prototyping using reconfigurable platform under communication restriction. The effectiveness of our approach is illustrated through an application example using an ARM Integrator platform

Hardware/software covalidation is becoming one of the most critical issues in current System-on-Chip (SoC) design. Nowadays, covalidation is usually performed by cosimulation which is slow and lacks accuracy. The other alternative is to build a hardware prototype specific to the application. However, this alternative is expensive in terms of time, man-power, and cost. As SoCs increase in complexity, validation becomes more and more difficult, time consuming and error prone. Thus, a new approach for covalidation is inescapable. In this paper, we present a novel efficient prototyping approach for complex SoC covalidation. The proposed approach enables systematic prototyping of embedded applications on a reconfigurable platform. The process starts from the RT level model of the application. The application and the reconfigurable platform have to be adapted to obtain the prototype. We decompose the prototyping process into four steps, in order to match the application and the platform. Besides, we propose adapted solutions to deal with constraints typically encountered in existing reconfigurable platforms. The main advantages of this method are: fast and accurate validation, systematic prototyping flow, and large application field. Prototyping of a subset of VDSL using the ARM Integrator platform illustrates the effectiveness of our approach
