MCD API
Unified debug interface to both real hardware and software simulations
Today, SoC design flows span several levels of abstraction, ranging from high level simulations to the final integrated hardware. Throughout this design, various off-the-shelf components of intellectual property (IP) are assembled in order to achieve high quality designs in short time. The Open SoC Design Platform for Reuse and Integration of IPs (SPRINT) Project has taken the challenge to develop a standards-based platform supporting the creation of interoperable and reusable IP as well as their efficient integration into high class SoCs. The SPRINT consortium consists of numerous companies and research facilities from the IP business, including both providers and users.
Within the scope of this project, ARM, Infineon Technologies, Lauterbach, NXP Semiconductors, STMicroelectronics and TIMA Laboratory jointly created the MCD API. It was designed to provide debug tools with a unified debug interface to both real hardware and software simulations. This allows engineers to start the application development early in the SoC platform design flow without having to switch to other debug tools during the transition from virtual prototypes to real hardware. Furthermore, the MCD API addresses multi-core debugging which is inevitable due to the complexity of today's SoC designs. Experiments within the SPRINT project have proven the feasibility and applicability of the interface.
