Abstract :
This paper presents an integrated modelling technique for digital designs consisting of both hardware and software components. The modelling technique is used to capture designs during the synthesis process from a high-level behavioural specification to its structural implementation. Based on the modelling technique, a hardware/software co-design environment is being built, which includes procedures for design evaluation, simulation, hardware/software (re-)partitioning, and movement of functionality from hardware to software and vice versa
