We present a prototyping environment with special benefit for hardware/software codesign
which we use as target architecture in the COBRA project. This architecture is very flexible …

The implementation of a cosynthesis design flow in the CASTLE (Codesign And Synthesis
Tool Environment) system is presented. The design flow generates a synthesizable …

Increasing time to market pressures, greater design complexity and increasing software
content are driving systems designers to look towards new ways of performing system …

Our goal is to create a simulation environment for hardware-software codesign. It is
important to perform simulation of the hardware/software system at various stages of the …

For many system designs where hardware and software are co-dependent, there often
exists a design bottleneck where most of the hardware design has to be completed and …

We present a flexible, yet cost-effective prototyping platform for hybrid hardware/software
systems. Our approach is based on combining off-the-shelf hardware components with …

A hardware software cosimulation environment is developed using the backplane approach.
This paper defines the backplane protocol for communication and synchronization between …

This paper presents a methodology for a unified co-simulation and co-synthesis of hardware-
software systems. This approach addresses the modeling of communication between the …

This paper aims at a theory for hardware/software codesign. We approach this goal by
investigating system design according to the allocation principle which is a systems …

We introduce CASTLE, a design environment for embedded systems. Starting from an
algorithmic specification in C++/VHDL, CASTLE helps a designer to quickly find a suitable …
