I have a question which probably is quite stupid. I developed a Software in the Loop framework in SytemC. This framework is supposed to call in specific discrete time instants some modules to execute. For instance suppose we have module A and B. Module A has to be executed every 10 ms and Module B every 20 ms. The execution order has to be first A and then B when both modules have to be executed.
I am able to do that by having a coordinator module triggered by a clock of 10 ms. Every module ( module A, B and scheduler) are related with an event. Module A and B they look like this:
while(1){
Wait(ev_mod_i)
{
...
trigger_ev_coordinator
}}
The coordinator which knows the frequency of each module will notify the correct event to trigger the corresponding module. So for instance for t=10ms the coordinator will be triggered by the clock and it will trigger event_mod_A. Then for t=20ms it will trigger event_mod_A, after module A is finished coordinator will trigger event_mod_B. After module B is also finished, the coordinator will wait for the next clock tick e.t.c
Now i would like to insert an AMS model into my system. The desired MoC is continuous TDF. However I can't use statements like event.notify(zerotime) or wait(ev_i) in TDF according to the AMS manual. Moreover TDF modules include a time step by which they are executed. This is something that is not fully desired because i can't find a way to control the TDF modules. Could you please give me any ideas on how I can embed a TDF model into a SystemC framework and at the same time to be able to control when the model has to be executed for a specific clock tick? Probably by doing this I am ruining the whole concept of continuous TDF MoC. If this is right do you have any alternative ideas? Thanks in advance.
