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
