Abstract :
The δ framework for RTOS-SoC codesign helps designers simultaneously build a SoC or platform-ASIC architecture and a customized hardware-software RTOS. Examples generated by this prototype tool include RTOS designs that speed up applications by 27% or more, using a small amount of hardware area.
