Executable specifications and simulations are cornerstone to system design flows. Complex-mixed-signal embedded systems can be specified with SystemC AMS which supports abstraction and extensible models of computation. The language contains semantics for module connections and synchronization required in analog and digital interaction. Through the synchronization layer, user defined models of computation, solvers and simulators can be unified in the SystemC AMS simulator for achieving low-level abstraction and model refinement. These improvements assist in amplifying model aspects and their contribution to the overall system behavior. This work presents cosimulating refined models with timed data flow paradigm of SystemC AMS. The methodology uses C-based interaction between simulators. An RTL model of data encryption standard is demonstrated as an example. The methodology is flexible and can be applied in early design decision tradeoff, architecture experimentation, and particularly for model refinement and critical behavior analysis.

“…The adoption of various formal languages for co-simulation, like SDL and C [5] is mainly used for the design of reactive systems like telecom systems such as wireless protocols employing different and standardized formalisms. On the other hand, functional models compatibles with HDL (Hardware description language) models [11] are used to get accurate hardware specifications using for example RTL (Register Transfer Level) level of modelling.…”

This paper describes a new modelling and simulation approach in order to observe the system behaviour and eventual faults. It is based on hardware-software co-modelling with multi-level of granularity to get multi-level of simulation speed. Our modelling approach let integrate the hardware specifications to the functional model in order to establish also hardware supervision models after HW/SW co-modelling and simulation.To reach this objective we have to have a relationship between the desired accuracy of the supervision and the level of granularity of the hardware-software model, for every ECU (Electronic Computing Units) that belongs to an automotive embedded architecture.

Abstract-This paper describes a new modeling and simulation approach in order to enhance the diagnosis ability of an electronic embedded system, including in the automotive field. Our modeling approach integrates the hardware specifications to the functional model in order to establish better system observation. It is based on hardware/software (HW/SW) comodeling with multilevel of granularity.To reach this objective, we have set up a relationship between the desired diagnosis accuracy and the level of granularity of the HW/SW co-model, for every Electronic Computing Unit (ECU). Our contribution allows the attribution of the right co-simulation hierarchical level by attributing the right simulation accuracy, for each function under observation.
