Abstract

As an advanced component of embedded systems, SoC issues excellent performance in size, reliability and operating efficiency. Its application is popular. SoC is mainly composed of some computing cores and IP modules. Its design is concerned to cooperation of hardware HW and software SW. In this paper, a method of HW-SW co-design for IP is discussed. As an example, the design of some display IP modules for SoC is issued. The solution is based on FPGA hardware with VHDL software. Simulation and test show that some software function is replaced by hardware. With new IP modules, the application software can be written more simply, and the operation of SoC will be faster and more reliable.
