摘　　要：针对片上系统 (SoC)开发周期较长和现场可编程门阵列 (FPGA)可重用的特点 ,设计了基于ARM7TDMI处理器核的SoC的FPGA验证平台 ,介绍了怎样利用该平台进行软硬件协同设计、IP核验证、底层硬件驱动和实时操作系统设计验证。使用该平台通过软硬件协同设计 ,能够加快SoC系统的开发。整个系统原理清晰 ,结构简单 ,扩展灵活、方便。Due to the long development period of the SoC, the reuse characteristic of FPGA is adopted. Basing on the ARM7TDMI CPU core, a SoC verification platform is designed. The platform techniques such as how to deal with hardware/software co-design, how to verify the hardware IP, how to code drivers and how to design real-time operation system and make their tests are presented. The system mainly consists of FPGA, which makes the best of the advantage of the FPGA along with the hardware/software co-design so as to accelerate the development of SoC. The whole system is very transparent, and its structure is so simple that its upgrade might be fairly flexible and convenient.
