Abstract :
This paper presents our methodology for designing new microprocessor architectures. We have developed a complete set of tools to simplify the debugging tasks within the design flow. Starting with the specification followed by the implementation and finally the engineering test the designers work in a uniform environment where the configuration can be fully reused for each phase of the design
