Abstract
Retargetability allows an easy adoption of a simulator on different processor architectures without a time consuming redesign of all tools. This is evident for an efficient HW/SW codesign.In this paper we describe a tool set for fast and easy simulation of processor architectures based on a retargetable simulator core. This approach helps to reduce the development time for designing and validating System-on-a-chip (SoC) applications based on a processor core. The use of ANSIC avoids an expensive development of a modeling language.Our main focus in this paper is on conceptual decisions we made and on the structure of the tool set.Keywords
