NoC modelling

[icecube]

Hello,

I actually want to model a simple NoC based on systemc.  In my model, I plan to use 2 Arm cores which they can communicate with each other through NoC. Basically the problem is that cores are not  synchronized while the simulation is running. Therefore usually simulation breaks.   Does anyone have  experience with NoC simulation in systemC ? Thank you

In this case you would need to add some syncronization at the ingress and the egress of the NoC. One should run with the clock of the sender and the other with the clock of the receiver. Since SystemC does not have an 'undefined' state the syncronization between ingress and egress is fairly simple depending on the way you model the way the phits/flits are send thru the NoC

We assume you are using SystemC models for the Arm cores.
