What is SoCLib
- SoCLib is an open platform for virtual prototyping of multi-processors system on chip (MP-SoC).
- The core of the platform is a library of SystemC simulation models for virtual components (IP cores), with a guaranteed path to silicon.
- The project is funded by the french 'Agence Nationale pour la Recherche'.
- It involves 6 industrial companies and 10 laboratories? which are working together to build this platform

SoCLib Components
- SoCLib Components General Index : documentation about the available hardware components (IP cores)
Installation
- Installation Notes : how to install the SoCLib platform on your computer
Development
- Soclib Cc is the current build system for SoCLib platforms
- Adding new components to the library : the rules to follow to add a new IP core to the library.
SoCLib OS support
- DNA/OS : DNA/OS is a micro-kernel for MPSoCs. It supersedes MutekA, and still provides the POSIX thread API.
- MutekH : Exo-kernel based OS for classical and heterogeneous MPSoCs with POSIX threads support
- NetBSD : Highly portable Unix-like Open Source operating system
- eCos : An open source, royalty-free, real-time operating system intended for embedded applications.
- RTEMS : Real-Time Operating System for Multiprocessor Systems
Middleware
- MWMR : Hardware / Software communication middleware
- MutekS : Optimized, static OS implementation usable with the DSX tool
SoCLib Tools
- DSX : Design Space Exploration tool
- SystemCASS : Fast SystemC simulation kernel
- SoCView : Interactive simulation environment for debug and instrumentation
- GdbServer : A GDB server for multi-processor architectures
- MemoryChecker : A memory access error checker similar to valgrind.
- VCI Validation : A library for the validation of the VCI protocol (CABA and TLM-T versions)
- GAUT : A high-level synthesis tool allowing to generate automatically systemC CABA and TLM-T files.
