| | 5 | SoCView is an interactive simulation environment for debug and instrumentation of multi-processors |
| | 6 | architectures modeled with the SoCLib Components. At the moment SoCView supports only CABA simulation. |
| | 7 | |
| | 8 | It gives the system designer a Graphical User Interface to launch and monitor various simulator engines, |
| | 9 | providing various types of services : |
| | 10 | * The '''SystemCASS''' simulation engine is very fast (about 15 times faster than the standard OSCI simulation engine), but does not provide any support for debug. |
| | 11 | * The '''SimDB''' simulation is much slower, but it allows the system designer to define hardware |
| | 12 | breakpoints, to trace hardware signals or registers, or to monitor the embedded memory content. |
| | 13 | It supports backtrack. |
| | 14 | |
| | 15 | In order to help the debug, SoCView allows the system designer to switch during simulation from the |
| | 16 | fast mode (SystemCASS) to the interactive mode (SimDB). |
