Abstract :
Designing hardware and software in isolation no longer provides good solutions for complex embedded systems. Hardware-software codesign (HSC) promises an integrated approach in which hardware and software are designed in parallel. CAD environments, employing the tenets of HSC, are being developed to provide a cost and time effective solution. As a result, system engineers must become knowledgeable in both hardware and software to successfully assimilate this new approach to systems design
