Digital/Analog Cosimulation using CocoTB and Xyce

Smith, Andrew M.; Mayo, Jackson M.; Armstrong, Robert C.; Schiek, Richard S.; Sholander, Peter E.; Mei, Ting M.

In this article, we describe a prototype cosimulation framework using Xyce, GHDL and CocoTB that can be used to analyze digital hardware designs in out-of-nominal environments. We demonstrate current software methods and inspire future work via analysis of an open-source encryption core design. Note that this article is meant as a proof-of-concept to motivate integration of general cosimulation techniques with Xyce, an open-source circuit simulator. ------------------------------------------------
