Open-Source QEMU and RTL Co-simulation - Edgar Iglesias, AMD

Open-Source QEMU and RTL Co-simulation - Edgar Iglesias, AMD
In this talk Edgar will show how AMD-Xilinx uses QEMU in all phases of its SoC/FPGA development programs. Edgar will explain how QEMU helps AMD-Xilinx to do SW development earlier and how users can co-develop SW along with HW/RTL. Edgar will explain the basics of co-simulation and cover various Open-Source tools and frameworks that are used together with QEMU to create Open-Source co-simulation setups targeting both SW development and RTL development. Edgar will explain how QEMU works together with Verilator (an Open-Source Verilog simulator) and libsystemctlm-soc, an Open-Source co-simulation framework largely developed in the DARPA POSH program that implements SystemC/TLM-2.0 transactors, RTL transactors, FPGA Hardware-in-the-loop and more.
