Generating Mixed Hardware/Software Systems from SDL Specifications
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new approach for the translation of SDL specifications to a mixed hardware/software system is presented. Based on the computational model of communicating extended finite state machines (EFSM) the control flow is separated from data flow of the SDL process. Hence for the first time it is possible to generate a mixed hardware/software implementation of an SDL process. This technique also reduces the complexity for high-level and register-transfer synthesis tools for the hardware parts of the system. The advantage of this methodology is shown by a design example of a wireless communication chip.

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...

ABSTRACT The signal SAVE construct is one of the features distinguishing SDL from convent specification and programming languages. On the other hand, this feature increase testing SDL-specified software. We present a testing approach consisting of the foll SDL specifications are first abstracted into finite state machines with save constructs machines are transformed to equivalent finite state ...
متن کاملPerformance message sequence chart: Sprache zur Leistungsvorhersage mittels der Generierung eines Prototypen im Kontext des Protokollentwurfs mit SDL und MSC
During the development of communication systems, the languages MSC and SDL are used for the standardisation, development and implementation of protocols. Both languages are an essential part of today’s popular development methodologies with the UML language. In MSC specifications, the system is described by examples while in SDL specifications it is described completely by means of communicatin...

It is predicted that, in the next years, wireless sensor networks could be massively deployed in a wide variety of application areas, such as agriculture, logistics, automation, or infrastructure monitoring. An extremely low power consumption, high dependability, and low cost are common requirements for sensor nodes in all these applications. This can be achieved only by tiny, power-efficient m...
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...
