Abstract :
In order to actualize the ideal of automatic hardware design, we have done some research on automatic TLM (transaction level modeling). A methodology of building TLM from system spec(software code) is presented. To get through the natural gap between software code and hardware design, generate the communications between modules, HCDFG is introduced as an intermedium. This paper discussed on this methodology and the details of implementation
