系统芯片FPGA验证系统的软件调试环境设计

软件调试环境是软件与硬件间的桥梁。为了缩短SoC推向市场的时间，必须尽早建立一个好的软件开发调试环境。在SoC系统验证(项目中用FPGA做系统验证)阶段，同时建立软件开发环境，这样软硬件设计就能同步进行，就可以在PFGA上调试软件，缩短SoC的上市时间、降低成本，在FPGA上开发的软件基本可以平移到目标芯片上。本文探索的软件调试环境设计，不需要任何的硬件支持，完全用软件来实现，这又进一步简化了硬件设计，缩短SoC的开发周期和成本。

Design of SoC Software Developing Environment in the Process of FPGA Verification

Software developing technology bridges the gap between the software and hardware. For the purpose of shorting time - to - market, it is extremely important to design a software developing environment as early as possible. A technology of designing software developing environment in the process of FPAG verification is introduced in this paper, so the SoC developing cost is lowed and the time is saved. The software developing technology can work without any aid of hardware.
