A methodology for interfacing open source systemC with a third party software
Luc Charest, MARIE CLAUDE REID, E.M. Aboulhamid, Guy Bois · 2001
SystemC is a new open source library in C for developing cycle-accurate or more abstract models of software algorithms, hardware architecture and systemlevel designs. SystemC is meant to be an interoperable, modeling platform allowing seamless tool integration. Our objective is to evaluate the feasibility of linking a third party software to SystemC without modifying the SystemC source. We chose the development of a GUI as such an application. This application illustrates a set of applications following the observer pattern defined recently in software engineering. This class of applications can be loosely coupled to a platform designed following specific rules of software reuse.
