RESUMO

The system-on-chip era is creating new challenges to the system design. There is an increasing demand for smaller electronic devices with more features and reduced time to market. To face these new challenges is necessary to introduce new methodologies and development techniques. Buses are important elements for connecting devices in a complex system. To increase the efficiency and speed of systems development, it is important to introduce new mechanisms to help the creation and tests of buses. This document presents a framework based on SystemC language and implemented using the transaction level modeling (TLM). The framework goal is to help designers to create bus simulators. This document describes in detail all framework classes and interfaces. Four buses, Wishbone, Coreconnect, AMBA and Avalon are described along the text. Two specific buses, AMBA-AHB and Avalon, were fully implemented and have executable simulators. Tests were performed using these simulators, the test results and analysis are described in the end of this document
