IP encapsulation: Approach and Case Study

The recent emergence of component-based designs helps the design of systems daring the refinement step between algorithmic specifications and architecture specifications. Designers´ attempts such as flexibility, cost constraints, high performance and time to market can thus be helpfully managed. However, the correct integration of the architectures/components in a design implies complex verification/design problems. The proposed approach addresses the design of cycle accurate bit accurate (CABA) generic interface of such instantiated components. This paper suggests an IP encapsulation approach relying on a generic interface model considering the object oriented issues for simulation and architecture generation toward synthesis. The automatic interface generation has been experimented on the object motion detection (OMD) algorithm
