This comprehensive set of ESL APIs offer a complete integration package for ARM® RealView® system development tools. These interfaces are provided openly to the industry under the same simple usage terms as the AMBA® interconnect protocols. A cycle-based (communicate and update) execution paradigm is used as the basis for these interfaces. This offers the user best-in-class simulation speed and interoperability for SystemC TLM modeling. The materials that are provided are:

Specifications

• Cycle Accurate Simulation Interface (CASI) - a cycle-based SystemC interface for clock or instruction accurate models
  
• Cycle Accurate Profiling Interface (CAPI) - a C++ interface for model profiling allowing data collection and organization around streams and channels
  
• Cycle Accurate Debug Interface (CADI) - C++ interface supporting interface capabilities for re-targetable, multi-core debug integration

Examples

• Source code example of AMBA 3 AXI simple master, slave and connection
  
• Source code example of AMBA AHB simple master, slave and connection

Header Files

• Libraries for CASI, CAPI and CADI interfaces
