Abstract :
Growing demands on functionality in today´s electronic products is leading to an increasing shift towards developing in-system programmable hardware in order to increase design flexibility. As a result, the development of embedded applications is becoming more and more important. The application modeling description language (AMDL) is a language created to aid user designing and creating application while hiding all hardware implementation and execution details. The AMDL represents a collection of the functions that can be used directly or be programmed by the end users. In this paper we mainly discuss about the concept of AMDL with its execution environment -Translator, which is designed by the new development methodology - Lex and Yacc. Here we named the software application, both AMDL and Translator as PACO v0.1
