Abstract
An Ethernet co-simulation interface for use with a software-based simulation tool and a design under test disposed on a programmable device can include a host interface and a network processor. The host interface can execute on a host computing system and facilitate data transfer between the software-based simulation tool and a communication link to the design under test. The network processor can be implemented within the programmable device and facilitate data transfer between the communication link and the design under test. The host interface and the network processor can exchange simulation data formatted as raw Ethernet frames over a point-to-point Ethernet connection.
