An ESL Methodology for Functional Verification between Untimed C++ and RTL using SystemC
Many RTL designs are developed from C++ algorithms that have been extensively tested using a C++ testbench. The C++ testbench often represents a huge engineering effort to provide as much coverage of the algorithm as possible. Once the algorithm has been synthesized to RTL, however, a new testbench is typically written instead of using the original C++ testbench. This creates a discontinuity between the verification performed on the...

C++ for Embedded: Dos and Don'ts
It took the arrival of very high quality code generation and transparent debugging for the industry to accept such new-fangled ideas, and that was only under the relentless pressure to become more productive. The obvious step on from C is C++. Even though its use for embedded software has steadily increased in recent years, it is far from universal. Why is that?
