Abstract

This paper presents an approach to mix hardware models based on C++ library and HDL components (e.g. VHDL or Verilog) in the same design. The C++ software library is based on Cynlib from CynApps. The developing environment is integrated on a co-design tool called Picasso. The C foreign language interface of the well-known Modelsim simulator is used as a unified platform integration.
