Using Cosimulation Framework with C/C++ Library

[Eamon]

Hello,

I’m working on some video processing HDL. For debugging operations like smoothing, spectrogram, colorspace conversion, etc I get limited utility out of peaking an output AXI stream and using that on a scoreboard. I’ve seen SDL2 + Verilator used online to write AXI stream contents to a framebuffer. Is something like this possible in the OSVVM cosimulation framework? Can arbitrary C/C++ libraries be linked?

Thanks

Hi Eamon,
I have asked Simon to post a response to this. Unfortunately the website is having some issues with Simon being able to post a response to it. Hopefully it will be resolved shortly.

Many apologies. We usually get these type of things answered within a day or two of the post.

Best Regards,
Jim

Thanks Jim and Simon! This clears things up.

It is Simon doing the heavy lifting on the CoSimulation / C interface.
