Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides a hardware software co-verification tool for use by software and hardware designers of a computing system that uses an operating system having a strongly specified hardware interface specification. The present invention receives and tests the functionality of the software code intended for interaction with a hardware component within the computer system. An actual physical implementation of the hardware component is not used but is substituted with a hardware model running under simulation to provide the expected functional and behavioral patterns of the hardware component in response to the execution of the software code. An interface model is used to integrate the hardware model and software code, enabling the hardware operations called for by the software code to be processed through simulation of the hardware model.
