I.INTRODUCTIONEmbedded systems are found everywhere, including in cellular telephones, pagers, VCRs, camcorders, thermostats, curbside rental-car check-in devices, automated supermarket stockers, computerized inventory control devices, digital thermome
4、ters, telephone answering machines, printers, portable video games, TV set-top boxes - the list goes on. Demand for embedded system is large, and is growing rapidly. In order to deliver correct-the-first-time products with complex system requirements and time-to-market pressure, design verification
5、is vital in the embedded system design process. A possible choice for verification is to simulate the system being designed. If a high-level model for the system is used, simulation is fast but may not be accurate enough, with a low-level model too much time may be required to achieve the desired le
6、vel of confidence in the quality of the evaluation. Since debugging of real systems has to take into account the behavior of the target system as well as its environment, runtime information is extremely important. Therefore, static analysis with simulation methods is too slow and not sufficient. An
7、d simulation cannot reveal deep issues in real physical system. A hardware prototype is a faithful representation of the final design, guarantying its real-time behavior. And it is also the basic tool to find deep bugs in the hardware. For these reasons, it has become a crucial step in the whole des
8、ign flow. Traditionally, a prototype is designed similarly to the target system with all the connections fixed on the PCB (printed circuit boards).As embedded systems are getting more complex, the needs for thorough testing become increasingly important. Advances in surface-mount packaging and multi
9、ple-layer PCB fabrication have resulted in smaller boards and more compact layout, making traditional test methods, e.g., external test probes and bed-of-nails test fixtures, harder to implement. As a result, acquiring signals on boards, which is beneficial to hardware testing and software developme
10、nt, becomes infeasible, and tracking bugs in prototype becomes increasingly difficult. Thus the prototype design has to take account of testability. However, simply adding some test points is not enough. If errors on the prototype are detected, such as misconnections of signals, it could be impossib
11、le to correct them on the multiple-layer PCB board with all the components mounted. All these would lead to another round of prototype fabrication, making development time extend and cost increase.Besides testability, it is important to maintain high flexibility during development of the prototype a
12、s design specification changes are common. Nowadays complex systems are often not built from scratch but are assembled by reusing previously designed modules or off-the-shelf components such as processors, memories or peripheral circuitry in order to cope with more aggressive time-to-market constrai
13、nts. Following the top-down design methodology, lots of effort in the design process is spent on decomposing the customers, requirements into proper functional modules and interfacing them to compose the target system.Some previous research works have suggested that FPLDs (field programmable logic d
14、evice) could be added to the final design to provide flexibility as FPLDs can offer programmable interconnections among their pins and many more advantages. However, extra devices may increase production cost and power dissipation, weakening the market competition power of the target system. To addr
15、ess these problems, there are also suggestions that FPLDs could be used in hardware prototype as an intermediate approach 1-3, whereas this would still bring much additional work to the prototype design. Moreover, modules on the prototype cannot be reused directly. In industry, there have been compa
16、nies that provide commercial solutions based on FPLDs for rapid prototyping 4. Their products are aimed at SOC (system on a chip) functional verification instead of embedded system design and development.In this paper, we discuss our design of a Rapid Prototyping Platform for ARM based Embedded System, providing a low cost solution to meet the request of flexibility and testability in embedded system prototype development. It also encourages concurrent developmen
