Can all SystemC be synthesized?

No. HLS tools support a constrained subset focused on static structure and analyzable timing.

Is TLM synthesizable?

Full TLM-2.0 is generally a modeling abstraction, not an RTL contract; use vendor-supported subsets only when documented.

SystemC High-Level Synthesis Tutorial

Simulation asks whether C++ can run. Synthesis asks whether hardware can be built. These lessons focus on static structure, reset behavior, clock boundaries, datatypes, loops, and the subset of SystemC that HLS tools can reason about.
