System Designer
Model Technology’s ModelSim is shown in Figure 3. ModelSim is the hardware simula-
tor included with System Designer and is used for stand-alone and co-verification
debugging of the HDL portion of the design.
Figure 3. Model Technology’s ModelSim
Co-verification provides a simulation of the FPGA design with the AVR code, including
the timing information from the FPGA. Co-verification allows 2 simulators to run through
a shared interface, but only one of the simulators can accept input at any one time. If the
AVR window is active, the ModelSim windows will be inactive. If ModelSim is active, the
AVR Studio window will be inactive.

Eliminates Prototype Boards by allowing the microcode and the hardware design to
be developed simultaneously without a prototype board
Allows Hardware/software Trade-off to quickly explore and test various
hardware/software implementations to arrive at a highly optimized design.
Faster Design Cycles by allowing the concurrent design of hardware and software.
Parallel Hardware/Software Development by removing the software from the critical
path and reducing the risk of hardware prototype iterations resulting from integration
errors.
