本論文主要是實作一個可以簡單被實現的模擬平台來達到SystemC模擬器與現成的CPU模組之間進行快速共同模擬的需求，其中在SystemC模擬器與CPU模擬器之間的資料傳遞問題，我們採用了Berkeley Socket的技術來實現。為了能夠對整個平台進行快速的模擬，在CPU的部份我們採用了使用者模式的QEMU來負責軟體部份的執行。在我們所提出的共同模擬系統環境裡，有三個主要的部份必須要被實現出來；其一，由於我們希望QEMU能夠跟SystemC之間做資料的互相傳送，必須在QEMU內部利用Socket的API來實現一套Transaction的轉換機制；其次，對於使用SystemC為開發語言所實現的模組，我們也要為它們設計一對Master與Slave的Wrapper來建立起SystemC Transaction與Socket Transaction之間界面轉換的橋樑；最後，針對SoC的系統設計而言，為了實現讓每個模組(模擬器)之間的資料傳送有固定先後順序與管理模式，在我們所提出的虛擬平台裡還包含了一個結合SystemC與Socket API所實作的系統匯流排(System Bus)。在實驗的部份，我們採用了過去由成功大學電機所CAD組利用SystemC語言所開發的H.264編碼器為例子，將這個編碼器的界面包裝成我們的平台可以使用的模型，進而驗證一套完整的H.264編碼系統的功能，其中編碼器的編碼流程是由QEMU來控制，且彼此之間資料的傳送也將是由Socket的界面來完成。

In this thesis, we present an easy-to-use SystemC simulator framework in order to implement a co-simulation platform for an emulated CPU. The proposed method integrates SystemC models and the emulated CPU using Berkeley sockets technology. For rapid co-simulation, we select the user-mode QEMU to be the CPU emulator in the proposed framework. The system has three major parts: one for adding the socket API into QEMU in order to let the CPU emulator transmit data to the SystemC simulator, one for developing the master and slave wrappers to emulate a bridge between the socket’s transaction and the TLM SystemC models, and one for designing a system bus model to connect and arbitrate all requests and data sent from any simulator or emulator. We verify the proposed platform using an advanced H.264 encoder SystemC model from NCKU. The model is controlled by a QEMU emulated ARM CPU, and the data transaction was performed using BSD sockets.
