All suggestions are good, but from my point of view, both solutions (entire simulated system, or using an emulator) could be too slow and too much artificial, so in translation to 'real world' can be a lot of problems.
I think our approach is the most real environment for our SystemC module. We will try to implement in this way, so any hints here will be appreciated.
