Abstract: With various application and increasing micro-controller unit(MCU) design scale, the requirements of MCU performance is getting higher and more complex. It is an effective method to adopt FPGA prototype verification for faster verification rate. By building a high-performance FPGA prototype verification system, design mistakes and disadvantages may be found in time. As consequence, the developing time can be saved as well. Taking a general MCU as research subject, an FPGA verification platform is set up by modifying clock system and replacing memory. Furthermore, processing hardware and software co-verification through this platform provides strong support for system level verification of this MCU design.

Key words: micro-controller unit, FPGA, prototype verification, hardware and software co-verification
