Guidelines for SystemC - Debugger Integration
This paper brings-out generic guidelines for debugger integration with SystemC which can be used for other such similar activities. The paper describes how to spawn the SystemC simulation kernel from the debugger context to ensure the control of the simulation by the debugger. The synchronization of debugger control operations like run, step, stop, etc with the SystemC simulation is described. Breakpoint management for the debugger in the SystemC simulation is also described as part of the paper.
