Overview
The SMIMS VeriSoC® is an embedded system with FPGA. It supports software and hardware co-design and co-verification. In the software side, VeriSoC® uses Android OS and provides JAVA API to develop software applications for communicating with the FPGA device. In the hardware side, VeriSoC® uses memory mapping to connect ARM CPU and the FPGA device.
The above block diagram is the VeriSoC® architecture. There are 16 bits data bus and 6 bits address bus for the communication between FPGA and embedded system. The SMIMS VeriSoC® also provides an emulator in a Windows PC and it simulates the embedded system. The emulator connects to the FPGA through the USB port of PC. In the emulator, the same JAVA API used to develop software applications for communicating with the FPGA device.  The above block diagram is the VeriSoC® emulator architecture. Based on the USB connection between PC and SMIMS VeriLite device, there is a virtual connection which supports 16 bits data bus and 6 bits address bus for the communication between FPGA and emulator.

- Verification Software – VeriComm with HDL Ximulation:
VeriComm is an easy-to-use verification environment which allows easy and quick debugging/analysis for a HDL-based circuit on SMIMS FPGA Platform. HDL Ximulation allows you to view FPGA internal signals or nodes in the Vericomm. A tree view GUI is offered for internal signal selection. With the help of internal signal debugger, the verification time for a user’s circuit can be reduced up to 50%.
