Abstract Communication Model and Automatic Interface generation for IP integration in Hardware/Software Co-design
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of standard languages like VHDL and C for the description of hardware and software IP has became a common practice. Despite this, these languages, specially the hardware description languages lack constructs that allow the IP designer to develop highly re-usable IP blocks. In this paper is described an abstract communication mechanism that uses extensions to the VHDL language, communication library for software and automatic interface generation for the easy integration of IP modules.

متن کاملA Parameterized On-Chip-Bus-Compliant FDWT/IDWT Accelerator IP Generator*
We propose a software tool for automatic generation of hardware accelerators for performing Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) with user-specified coefficient parameters. In addition to (5, 3) and (9, 7) DWT filters adopted by the next generation JPEG2000 image compression standard, other useful filters such as (9, 3), (6, 10), and (2, 2) can also be generated. The generated hardware IPs can perf...
