A multi-level simulation approach in a Simulink-based design tool for FPGAs

Abstract

This paper describes how simulation across multi-abstraction level problem has been solved in CodeSimulink environment, a high-level design tool for FPGAs and DSPs. We detail how we achieve the desired behavior at almost every considered level (i.e., Simulink, RTL and on-chip). We also show some results on simple applications to validate the approach.
