HARDWARE SOFTWARE COMMUNICATION CHANNEL TO SUPPORT DIRECT PROGRAMMING INTERFACE METHODS ON FPGA-BASED PROTOTYPE PLATFORMS

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240427679 titled 'HARDWARE SOFTWARE COMMUNICATION CHANNEL TO SUPPORT DIRECT PROGRAMMING INTERFACE METHODS ON FPGA-BASED PROTOTYPE PLATFORMS

Original Abstract Submitted

described herein is a generic hardware/software communication (hsc) channel that facilitates the re-use of pre-silicon dpi methods to enable fpga-based post-silicon validation. the hsc channel translates a dpi interface into a hardware fifo based mechanism. this translation allows the reuse of the methods without having to re-implement the entire flow in pure hardware. the core logic for the transactor remains the same, while only a small layer of the transactor is converted into the fifo based mechanism.
