The concept and application of SkyEye


SkyEye, the full name of Tianmu all-digital real-time simulation software in Chinese, is a hardware behavior-level simulation platform based on visual modeling. It supports users to simulate and model hardware at the behavior level by dragging and dropping.


SkyEye currently supports mainstream embedded hardware platforms, can run mainstream operating systems, and can also adapt to the domestic self-developed operating system Tianmai. By using LLVM-based dynamic binary translation technology, the virtual processor can run at a speed of more than 2000 MIPS on a typical desktop computer.

Advantages of SkyEye


SkyEye can be integrated with third-party languages or models


At present, SkyEye and SystemC have been integrated for timing simulation, and SkyEye and MATLAB or Simulink have been integrated for multi-domain co-simulation.

Hardware modeling based on visual graphics


Hardware modeling based on visual graphics effectively reduces the communication cost between hardware engineers and software engineers. Software engineers do not depend on hardware engineers, but can make changes to the hardware configuration as needed. Through this visual graphics hardware modeling method, software personnel can quickly build a hardware model, and run and debug the same binary file as the real hardware on the hardware model, which can greatly shorten the product development cycle and improve the efficiency of software debugging.

Containerized simulation platform


The traditional model with virtual machines as the smallest resource scheduling unit has a series of problems such as low resource utilization and complex configuration. In order to adapt to the continuous development of cloud computing services, SkyEye supports Docker containerized deployment, encapsulating the correctly configured SkyEye environment into Docker, and users can directly load Docker to run the simulation environment. The Docker container can be opened and closed at any time, which is very suitable for dynamic expansion and shrinkage, making SkyEye flexibly deployed on the cloud platform. At the same time, through multiple containers, one machine can run multiple services, deploy multiple SkyEye Docker to simulate multiple processor architecture models. SkyEye Docker not only supports terminal mode output, but also supports Telnet mode, which can access the output data of the serial port through port mapping.

FPGA co-simulation


SkyEye realizes the co-simulation with virtual FPGA, which can support the verification method of UVM. The virtual FPGA is connected to SkyEye through the co-simulation bus, and users can independently control the simulation running speed and improve the test efficiency of larger-scale embedded systems. SkyEye itself is a multi-architecture functional level simulation platform, and has rich debugging functions, which can debug multi-core embedded systems.

Simulation-based automatic fault injection tool


This product is an automated fault injection tool based on symbolic execution technology and simulation platform technology. Because it is based on simulation technology, the tool can flexibly inject any faults into any hardware; at the same time, it can also symbolize hardware based on symbolic execution technology, and accurately inject faults that can affect system behavior. The advantage of this tool is that it can avoid repeated injections and missed injections in traditional fault injection.
