Analysis and Design of Unified Hardware Abstraction Layer To Support Various Multimedia SoC with Android Platform

چکیده
As the significant role of the software platform in the smart phone is now propagating beyond the mobile industry, the software platform is evolving to provide unified multi-screen service facilities over different types of devices such as digital TV and Set-Top Box (STB). However, the application-specific hardware architectures impose difficulties for providing unified software platform for heterogeneous devices. This paper analyzes the differences between mobile and TV/STB System-On-Chip (SoC) architecture and proposes a unified hardware abstraction layer (HAL) to support integration of the software platform on different devices. For the evaluation and demonstration of the proposed design, the unified HAL is applied to the mobile Android platform to implement multi-screen services.

Analysis of Verification Methodologies Based on a SoC Platform Design
In a SoC (system-on-chip) design, a design complexity is a big bottleneck. In order to overcome the design complexity, platform based design method is widely adopted for designers. Most complex SoCs need a heterogeneous design development environment for hardware and software co-design. In this paper, we discuss about some kinds of verification approaches with platform based design methodology ...
متن کاملA Methodology for Bridging the Gap between UML and Codesign
The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is getting more popular among system designers due to the need to raise the level of abstraction in system specifications. We present here a methodology that integrates UML specifications with a hardware/software codesign platform. This work aims to give a contribution toward SoC Design Automation starting from system level specification down to hardware/soft...
متن کاملDesign a medical application for Android platform using model-driven development approach
Since the complexity of embedded systems has grown significantly, it has been necessary increase the abstraction level. For that reason, we propose a method to design a system for medical device interoperability, called SIMMIT (System Integration Medical Monitoring and Interoperability for Tele-care) based on a Model-Driven Development approach. This work presents a strategy and the tools to de...
متن کاملA Model-driven Co-design Flow for Embedded Systems
The UML (Unified Modeling Language), with the enhancements in UML 2.0, is receiving interest by an increasing number of industrial and academic groups from the EDA, embedded software and hardware systems, who look at it and at its extension mechanisms as a practical and standard means to define family of languages targeted to specific application domains and levels of abstraction, while providi...
متن کاملSystem-on-a-chip (soc) Verification Methods
The advent of system-on-a-chip (SoC) technology is a result of ever increasing transistor density. Unfortunately, this means that verification will pose the greatest problem to design because difficulties in verification scale faster than transistor technology. This paper provides evidence of this effect by citing industry trends, as well as discusses the potential pitfalls in SoC verification....
