Abstract

The generation of application-specific communication architectures is a time consuming and error prone task in embedded system design. In most design environments the evaluation of generated communication structures is done by cosimulation only. In this paper we present an approach to architecture-precise embedded system communication emulation using a reconfigurable rapid prototyping platform, hardware monitoring of the emulated communication structure as well as local and global communication architecture optimization techniques1.
