Currently, since many SoCs include heterogeneous components such as CPUs, DSPs, ASICs, memories, buses, etc., system integration becomes a major step in the design flow. To enable this integration, we use a design approach called component based-design approach. In this approach, the validation of system integration takes most of design efforts. This paper presents an automatic method of SoCs design validation. Based on a generic simulation wrapper architecture, the presented method provides automatic generation of executable models throughout different stages of SoC design flow. A case study of validating a VDSL application shows the effectiveness of the method.
