The recent advancements of the automotive sector demand robust co-simulation methodologies that enable early validation and seamless integration across hardware and software domains. However, the lack of standardized interfaces and the dominance of proprietary simulation platforms pose significant challenges to collaboration, scalability, and IP protection. To address these limitations, this paper presents an approach for automatically wrapping SystemC models by using the Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI) standard. This method combines the modeling accuracy and fast time-to-market of SystemC with the interoperability and encapsulation benefits of FMI, enabling secure and portable integration of embedded components into co-simulation workflows. We validate the proposed methodology on real-world case studies, demonstrating its effectiveness with complex designs.
