Abstract :
The goal of this work is to propose a method to fully exploit TLM2.0 potentialities to evaluate test infrastructures. By providing the high level model with necessary information from RTL, the behavior of test infrastructures can be simulated taking advantage of high simulation speed of TLM. This way, the high level model is able to both estimate the cost of test infrastructure much faster and facilitate decision making for proper test infrastructure at RTL.
