Given exercises mostly were taken from the book of David Black "SystemC: From Ground Up" 2nd Edition. However, project includes instructions how to set up the SystemC working environment with manual build or using Conan, to be able to concentrate on studying framework and not spending much time for initial configuration.

We use SystemC version 2.3.4, which could be cloned directly from the Accellera official repo

git clone --depth 1 --branch 2.3.4_pub_rev_20190614 https://github.com/accellera-official/systemc.git
mkdir build-cmake
cd build-cmake
cmake .. -DCMAKE_CXX_STANDARD=17 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="/usr/local"
cmake --build .
touch ../docs/tlm/ChangeLog
sudo make install

Building the project from source is simple. First you need to install conan.io according to the instructions and setup the Minres remote:

pip install --user conan
conan profile new default --detect
export PATH=${PATH}:$HOME/.local/bin

Now install required packages from the conanfile (SystemC, CCI and SCV library), build it from sources if required, build the project and run it:

mkdir build-cmake
cd build-cmake
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build .
bin/systemc_example

If you would like to analyze the recording output further just download the latest release of SCViewer to open the transaction_example.txlog.

Don't forget to add '-s compiler.libcxx=libstdc++11' to the conan call or changing compiler.libcxx, otherwise you might have run into GCC ABI incompatibility, or add

compiler.libcxx=libstdc++11

to $HOME/.conan/profiles/default
