TMS320C28346: SystemVerilog/Verilog Behavioral or RTL simulation model

Raul Aguilar

Part Number: TMS320C28346

I would like to simulate in SystemVerilog/Verilog an FPGA board that happens to use a TMS30C28346 IC. We have RTL models available for all the components, except of course, for the TMS30C28346. Does anybody know of a company that would license an encrypted behavioral model for this purpose? Alternatively, has anybody tried to call the Code Composer model using the SystemVerilog DPI? Is this possible?

Raul,

We(C2000) do not currently support sharing of our designs in RTL form. This is a proprietary (non-licensed) core from TI, so we would be the only option to provide this.

We do work with Mathworks, which has Processor In the Loop(PIL) support for our devices, https://www.mathworks.com/help/supportpkg/texasinstrumentsc2000/ug/code-verification-and-validation-with-pil.html

Would this be of benefit for your validation efforts?

Best,

Matthew

I guess I was hoping that TI would follow a similar business model to ARM's, where they have a proprietary processor, but they license the GDSII layout as well as encrypted behavioral simulation models. This allows the user to design ASICs or SoCs with ARM processors in them. This business model has worked extremely well for ARM. It just seems that TI, and their customers, could benefit for using a similar model.

Raul,

I appreciate your feedback, and I have made the marketing team aware of this post for future reference.

Best,
