Automated Generation of Embedded Systems Software from Timed DEVS Model of Computation Specifications

This paper addresses the software transformation part of a comprehensive hardware/software co-design flow for the Discrete Event System Specification Model of Computation. The transformation methodology of such timed abstract models into embedded systems source code is the main contribution of this paper. Furthermore, the integration of legacy source code and communication interface instantiation is detailed. Thus, the advocated approach allows to reuse legacy source code within a hardware/software co-design flow based on model transformations. The feasibility of the approach is demonstrated by means of a realistic distributed real-time application example.
