Welcome to TTool-AMS
What is TTool-AMS?
TTool-AMS from LIP6 is an extension to TTool from Télécom Paris. This extension allows the edition of diagrams representing SystemC-AMS clusters, and simulation of generated virtual protoytpes under SystemC-AMS.
The SoCLib version (2019) is part of the main TTool distribution.
A recent, experimental version integrating SystemC-AMS ELN generation and new features (e.g. modeling the ELN MoC and an improved version of interfaces between digital and analog part of the virtual prototype) in a virtual machine, can be found here:
ftp://ftp-asim.lip6.fr/outgoing/genius/TToolUbuntu22new.ova
This version does not require the installation of SoClib? and runs under Linux (Ubuntu 2022) on the virtual machine.
Currently supported is the combination of the following two simulators:
SystemC 2.3.3, from Accellera Systems Initiative and SystemC AMS extensions PoC2.3 Library, hosted by COSEDA
Who should use TTool-AMS?
Anyone interested by a free and open-source environment for modeling embedded systems - hardware or software elements - including digital and analog/mixed signal components. The particular strength of TTool-AMS is that it allows running embedded software on the digital part. Full-system simulation with an embedded micro-kernel MutekH and the SoCLib library is supported. All these are free software.
How can I use TTool-AMS?
TTool-AMS is an extension to TTool, an open-source software that can be installed and executed under most Operating Systems. More precisely, it has been tested under Windows, MacOS, Linux.
We do encourage you to contact the team at TPT if necessary (see the support section for more information) for problems like installating TTool, using a specific profile, performing formal proofs, and so on. For questions concerning the AMS extension and the SoCLib virtual prototype generation, please contact daniela.genius@…. for MIPS32 Links: installing TTool, downloading TTool
Outside the VM, on workstation
Older version containing which runs outside a VM: ftp://ftp-asim.lip6.fr/outgoing/genius/TTool-AMS.tgz
This version requires the installation of cross compilers, Soclib, and a micro-kernel. Below fin the link to the documentation.
Installation and User documentation
Installation documentation for co-simulation with SoCLib
Requirements:
Java (tested versions) : 11.0.16 Gradle (tested version) : gradle-8.12.1
SystemC 2.3.3 must be installed Systemc-ams-2.1 must be installed
The jar file for TTool is generated by make ttool (for faster generation without tests: make ttoolnotest)
Paths can be modified in systemc-env.sh (per default $HOME)
source systemc-env.sh
The generated SystemC-AMS files can be compiled by using the generated Makefile
The SystemC-AMS proof-of-concept is provided in https://www.coseda-tech.com/systemc-ams-proof-of-concept
Credits
The virtual machine, based on Ubuntu 2022, offers a pre-installed environment containing a regularly updated version of TTool with stable AMS features, SoCLib, SystemC, SysteC-AMS (credits go to [www.accellera.org Accellera]) and cross-compilers for MIPS32.
It can be extended by other cross-compilers (see documentation). A virtual machine of the SoCLib version virtual machine is available from our ftp server. See Virtual machine documentation for VM documentation.
