RCG: Retargetable Code Generation Methodology for Embedded Processors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Embedded systems tightly serve the needs of consumer electronics, home automation and portable devices. During the period of developing embedded systems, code generation is always seen a design challenge because every embedded processor has its own specific characteristic. In this paper, we propose a retargetable code generation (RCG) methodology which can generate retargetable C program for embedded processors. In addition, the generated code is further verified for time constraint with the global time, local time and kernel time. Finally, two design examples namely normal traffic light controller (NTLC) and four phases stepping motor control (FPSMC) are used to illustrate the feasibility in the embedded platform.

Chess: retargetable code generation for embedded DSP processors
This chapter introduces Chess, a retargetable code generation environment for xed-point DSP processors. Chess addresses a range of commercial as well as application-speciic processors, which are increasingly being used for embedded applications in telecommunications, speech and audio processing. Chess is based on a mixed be-havioural/structural processor representation model, which can account ...
متن کاملDeveloping a Retargetable Compiler for Mips32k and Arm7tdmi-s
The market of embedded systems is spreading faster than that of information technology. Mostly, the segments of embedded systems are consumer markets, with very short product lifetimes and short market windows. Hence, time-to-market is an important factor. Cutting down the time to market for products that became more and more complex is possible through “re-use”. Another important characteristi...
متن کاملScheduling, Compaction and Binding in a Retargetable Code Generator using Constraint Logic Programming
Code generation for embedded programmable processors is becoming increasingly important. Many of these processors have irregular architectures and offer instruction-level parallelism (e.g. DSPs). In order to generate code for a wide range of architectures, a code generator should be retargetable. Most of the previous code generation approaches concentrate on the datapath, not taking the peculia...
متن کاملBeyond tool-specific machine descriptions
When developing software for embedded systems, the set of essential tools includes a compiler and an instruction set simulator. Since software and hardware are often designed in parallel, the tools must be easily adaptable to the changing target architecture. For the compiler, its back-end (the code generator) must be retargetable. Abstraction from the target machine is the key to an automated ...
متن کاملMethods for Retargetable Dsp Code Generation
E cient embedded DSP system design requires methods of hardware/software codesign. In this contribution we focus on software synthesis for partitioned system behavioral descriptions. In previous approaches, this task is performed by compiling the behavioral descriptions onto standard processors using target-speci c compilers. It is argued that abandoning this restriction allows for higher degre...
