The Linux example shown in Figure 5.8 is based on the Cortex A8 EB platform.
This variant of the system provides sufficient resource to run the
operating system and a simple example application. The SystemC side
contains a simple CPTimers model. The Cortex-A8 component
runs a Linux image.
The project file is $PVLIB_HOME/examples/SystemCExport/LinuxSystem/Build/LinuxSystem.sgproj
Figure 5.8 shows
the LinuxSystem with the bridges between Fast Models and SystemC. The rate_hz_X 64
integer value bridges allow to configure the SystemC based timer module
for dynamic clock configuration. The int_X integer
brige transmits the interrupt source signals for the core. The amba_pv_m bridge
connects to the peripheral memory mapped registers of the timer
component.
See Building Example systems for
how to build the example. Use LinuxSystem.sgproj as
the name for the project file.
See Running the Example system or Running the examples with debug support for more instructions on how to run the example system.
Note
The Linux image which must be loaded onto the simulation executable
is part of the TPIP package. The location is <FastModelPortfolio>/images/eba8-rtsm_armv5t-min_config-2.6.28-arm1-realview-v7-ethDCC-profiler.axf and
is automatically used if the example is started from SGCanvas or
using the provided scripts in the Build directory.
