Title: A Cycle-accurate Template Microprocessor Model of a Von Neumann Architecture Based on SystemC
Keywords: cycle-accurate simulation; deeply-embedded; instruction set

Abstract: The paper presents different aspects of the creation of a cycle-accurate, pipeline-accurate, single-issue, von Neumann microprocessor model that can be used as a template to model any existing microarchitecture. The goal of this development is simplicity and modularity so that any embedded developer could create a model out of the instruction timings given in the datasheet. The model is created as a separate entity to allow for code reuse and support for many families and subfamilies of microcontrollers.
