Rapid integration of reusable functional IPs with SystemC VCI adapters

The goal of our paper is to allow a rapid integration of SystemC IPs with several abstraction levels, in order to reduce the SoC design cost and time to market window. Our challenge is finding a way which allows the communication between IPs from different sources without changing their code or understand their interface of communication. We introduce in this article our design flow which include our own adaptation methodology of functional IP interface translation towards VCI interface. This methodology is performed through a custom SystemC adapters library.
