Transaction-Level Modeling Guide 2nd edition (OSCI TLM2.0 Compliant)
The demand on designers of electronic devices to develop increasingly complex, large scale LSI has revealed design issues that cannot be resolve using conventional RTL based methodologies. Transaction level design was introduced to raise the level of abstraction and solve these issues by enabling critical areas such as the verification of architectural design and software/hardware co-verification to be implemented in the early stages of a design.

In order to establish a seamless, integrated "standard design methodology" from system design through to real chip implementation, STARC investigates semiconductor industry "best practices" and then develops and promotes design methodology standards and recommendations (*1). The "TL Modeling Guide first edition" was defined in January 2008 as a part of these activities with the purpose of establishing a standard system design methodology using TLM. As to follow up the OSCI's change from TLM1.0 to TLM2.0, which the guide is based upon, "TL Modeling Guide second edition" was developed to incorporate TLM2.0 features in January 2009.

By releasing the TLM reference and reducing the dependence on a specific company or a tool STARC hopes to promote the distribution of LSI vendor and EDA tool free TLM, enable sharing of design information between electronic systems developers and SoC designers and thus expand the use of TLM in the design community.
