A Comprehensive Prototyping-Platform for Hardware-Software Codesign
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a flexible, yet cost-effective prototyping platform for hybrid hardware/software systems. Our approach is based on combining off-the-shelf hardware components with custom software to arrive at an encompassing solution. We address the hybrid nature by tightly coupling a conventional processor with configurable logic on a single PCI expansion card.

Hardware/Software Codesign for Embedded RISC Core
This paper describes hardware/software codesign method of the extendible embedded RISC core VIRGO, which based on MIPS-I instruction set architecture. VIRGO is described by Verilog hardware description language that has five-stage pipeline with shared 32-bit cache/memory interface, and it is controlled by distributed control scheme. Every pipeline stage has one small controller, which controls ...
متن کاملDesign Process and Tools for the HW/SW-Codesign and Rapid-Prototyping of Parallel and Heterogeneous Real-Time Communication Systems1
Based on the methodology for the development of communication systems, a framework for early performance evaluation and hardware/software codesign of such systems is presented. We describe how performance requirements can be formulated in a formal way during the analysis phase of a project and how these requirements are used by the synthesis tools for hardware/software codesign during the desig...
متن کاملA Case Study in Hardware-Software Codesign of Distributed Systems - Vehicle Parking Management System
Hardware-software codesign of distributed systems is a more challenging task than that of centralized embedded systems. Each phase of codesign, such as copartitioning, cosynthesis, cosimulation, and coverification, must take into account physical restrictions imposed by the distributed nature of such systems. Although codesign of distributed systems is more complex, yet many common parts of the...
متن کاملHW/SW Co-Design of a Specific Accelerator for Robotic Computer Vision
This paper presents an image processing application focused on robotic computer vision. The codesign is divided into three main parts: a hardware accelerator, a PCIe® based framework for HW/SW link, and application software. The implemented accelerator performs preprocessing for facial recognition in order to reduce the workload in the main system processor. The hardware layer is implemented in...
متن کاملDESC: A Hardware-Software Codesign Methodology for Distributed Embedded Systems
The hardware-software codesign of distributed embedded systems is a more challenging task, because each phase of codesign, such as copartitioning, cosynthesis, cosimulation, and coverification must consider the physical restrictions imposed by the distributed characteristics of such systems. Distributed systems often contain several similar parts for which design reuse techniques can be applied...
