Described herein is a generic hardware/software communication (HSC) channel that facilitates the re-use of pre-silicon DPI methods to enable FPGA-based post-silicon validation. The HSC channel translates a DPI interface into a hardware FIFO based mechanism. This translation allows the reuse of the methods without having to re-implement the entire flow in pure hardware. The core logic for the transactor remains the same, while only a small layer of the transactor is converted into the FIFO based mechanism.
