Abstract
Co-simulation platforms generally include a software-based system and a hardware-based system in which different portions of the circuit design are either simulated in a software-based system or emulated on a hardware-based system. Before a model of circuit design can be co-simulated, the circuit design must be transformed and configured into a form that can execute and interface with a specific hardware-based system. The embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system, and article of manufacture for co-simulation of a portion of a circuit design and achieve an advance in the art by improving co-simulation configuration and setup and providing co-simulation adjustment capabilities during runtime.
