Co-Simulation of Hybrid SDL and VHDL Specifications
نویسندگان
چکیده
The co-simulation is the chosen method within the ESPRIT Project INSYDE for the validation of hybrid SDL and VHDL specifications. This paper presents a concept for the integrated SDL and VHDL simulator and its realization in C++. The INSYDE concept for the co-simulation is based on the connection of two existing commercial simulators by the Coupling Module. The Integrated Simulator presented in this document aims at studying the functionality of this Coupling Module and the general principles of co-simulation.

Using SDL for Hardware/Software Co-Design of an ATM Network Interface Card
The Co-design is the process of generating a mixed hardware/software architecture starting from system-level model. This paper discusses the uses of SDL for the co-design of an ATM Network Interface Card (NIC). In this study, the initial specification is given in SDL. The architecture generation is made using Cosmos, a co-design tool for multiprocessor architecture. Several architectures are pr...
متن کامل18 VHDL generation from SDL specifications
The aim of this paper is to present an approach that allows the generation of VHDL from system level specifications in SDL. Our approach overcome the main known problem encountered by previous work which is the communication between different processes. We allow SDL communication to be translated into VHDL for synthesis. This is made possible by the use of an intermediate form that support a po...
متن کاملAn Evaluation of Code Generation Strategies Targeting Hardware for the Rapid Prototyping of SDL-Specifications
The specification of an embedded system at system level together with co–joint hardware/software synthesis is a goal of many rapid prototyping projects. SDL has been proposed as a formal and abstract specification language well suited for this purpose. In the automated generation of hardware however, SDL’s asynchronous communication model (directly implemented in the so called server model) can...
متن کاملA Scalable Hardware Library for the Rapid Prototyping of SDL Specifications
A known problem in the area of hardware/software codesign is the selection of the proper interface between the different parts of the design. This paper presents a technique which eases the selection by combining different synthesis techniques together with rapid prototyping. Application field of the technique is the design of communication systems where C and VHDL are generated from a specific...
متن کاملImplementation Independent Profiling of SDL Specifications
The Specification and Description Language (SDL) is a worldwide accepted standard for development of new protocols, e.g. an increasing number of IEEE protocol standards uses SDL. Especially for mobile devices it is important that the protocol implementation is as energy efficient as possible. This cannot be achieved with a straight forward code generation from SDL to a target language as for ex...
