Abstract :
This paper presents the design flow of a SoC (System on a Chip). An IEEE802.11b Medium Access Controller (MAC) is implemented with a 32bit RISC controller and verified with FPGA chip. The architecture of the system includes hardware and software. The software part includes real time operation system (RTOS), which is realized in μC/OS-II and MAC application program. The MAC application is described with SDL, and C code of the application is generated with SDL tools. The host interface (PCMCIA), base-band interface is designed with VHDL (Very high-speed integrated circuit Hardware Description Language).
