SystemC is a C++ class library which allows you to design mixed hardware/software systems at different levels of abstraction. It is a quickly evolving language, so it is important for new users to get up and running as speedily as possible. The HeadStart kit aims to help you by distilling some of our experience with SystemC and passing it onto you.
Our
SystemC Golden Reference Guide is available to purchase now. Designed to be a practical guide to using SystemC it is the ideal project companion, containing all the essential syntax, hints, tips and gotchas design engineers need to know.
To access HeadStart, you will need to fill in a short registration form, giving us your contact details. This will enable us to inform you when we update HeadStart in line with future releases of SystemC.
