Effeciency enhancement in embedded system design

One of early processes in an embedded system designing is system modeling. A modeling is performed to get preliminary figure of a product before it could be implemented in form of a prototype. Generally speaking, an embed system designing processes comprise five stages: product specifications, HW/SW separation. detailed HW/SW designing, integration and testing. The final output is in form of detailed RTL. After the RTL has been completed, the improvement processes could be started. This paper proposes a new designing process by performing UML-based preliminary designing and TLM preliminary process before detailed HW/SW designing. The correction processes would be performed only under the TML Model. It is expected that by this method we could perform the overall designing processes faster than the conventional method. We use SystemC as a modeling Language.
