Abstract
Standard interfaces for hardware reuse are currently defined at the structural level. In contrast to this, our contribution defines the reuse interface at the behavioral register-transfer (RT) level. This promotes direct reuse of functionality and avoids the integration problems of structural reuse. We present an object oriented reuse interface in C++ and show the use of it within two real-life designs
