ESL panelists call for TLM standards
(07/26/2006 1:27 AM EDT)
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — Electronic system level (ESL) design is making considerable progress, but standards that will help make SystemC transaction-level models (TLMs) interoperable are desperately needed, according to panelists at Summit Design Automation's ESL Symposium at the Design Automation Conference here Tuesday. And with a newly-released standards roadmap from Open SystemC International (OSCI), they may get their wish.
Although SystemC establishes a language standard, users are having difficulty integrating SystemC TLMs from outside their companies into their design flows. The OSCI TLM 1.0 standard defines a set of APIs for transaction-level communications, but does not define the content of the transactions. That's a task left for the TLM 2.0 standard that's now under development.
