Rapid prototyping of multimedia chip sets

چکیده
We have developed a rapid prototyping environment for Multimedia applications. The design environment is based on e cient hardware and software reuse, abstraction, design parameterization, and automation. The design methodology maintains a exible boundary between hardware and software by eliminating hardware fabrication from the design loop. A reusable Hardware/Software library for video compression has been developed to support the design methodology. We present a case study involving the design of an H.263-based video decoder. This case study illustrates the e ciency and exibility of the design methodology.
