Abstract

This paper describes aspects of the process and methodologies used in the development of a complex System On Chip. SystemC played a key role in supporting the technical work based on a defined refinement process from early architectural modelling to detailed cycle accurate modelling elements which enabled early co-simulation and validation work. In addition to SystemC, significant use was made of the Unified Modelling Language, and process and methodology associated with it, to provide visual, structured models and documentation of the architecture and design as it developed.
