Abstract
Various approaches for co-simulating an electronic system design are described. In one approach, a hardware design function block in the design is instantiated, along with a specification of a software execution platform including external ports and software to execute on the platform. In response to a user instruction to import the software execution platform into the design, a software execution platform interface block is automatically instantiated. A first simulation model is generated from the hardware design function block and the software execution platform interface block and a second simulation model is generated from the software execution platform. The design is co-simulated using the first and second simulation models. Data is communicated between the first simulation model and the second simulation model via the interface block.
