OveRSoC: A Framework for the Exploration of RTOS for RSoC Platforms

Figure 4

The DOGME tool brings facilities to manipulate the components of the library. These components model RTOS services for the control of an RSoC platform. In the library the services are described both by a SystemC generic source code and an XML exchange file. The designer graphically instantiates the components, then the tool automatically adds debug components for metric evaluation into the specification and generates the code of the corresponding platform. The platform is compiled and linked with the SystemC libraries and simulated thanks to graphical interfaces. The designer can finally evaluate the metrics of his platform and can take decisions about exploration or refinement.
