Abstract
Method and apparatus for profiling a hardware/software embedded system are described. In one example, a hardware co-simulation interface is generated between a programmable logic device (PLD) configured with the embedded system and a computer based on a plurality of events. The embedded system in the PLD is simulated. During the simulation of the embedded system, occurrence of at least one event is detected to produce profiling data. The profiling data is stored into shared first-in-first-out (FIFO) logic of the PLD and the computer. The profiling data is retrieved from the shared FIFO logic at the computer.
