A SystemC/TLM based methodology for IP development and FPGA prototyping

With the advent of System-on-Chip technology, designs are becoming bigger in size and thus highly complex, time-to-market is becoming critical, and at the same time, RTL methodologies are generally becoming insufficient to fit into this new role. These factors are driving designers to explore new methodologies for early verification of complex IPs (HW as well as SW) as well as complete system.
