Abstract

This paper presents a methodology for incorporating intellectualproperty (IP) cores that are implemented withSRAM-based FPGA logic into an existing hardware simulationenvironment for functional simulation and evaluationpurposes, using a simple serial communication interfacebased on the IEEE 1149.1 standard (also known asJTAG) with minimal hardware requirements. We also describea prototype software/hardware implementation of theproposed approach and present a case study to demonstratethe feasibility of our approach.
