Title
Hardware-software co-design of embedded systems using CoWare's N2C methodology for application development
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to present the technology assessment of the N2C of CoWare inc. approach in the co-design/co-simulation problem. The test bench to be used is a telecommunication application implementing the Medium Access (MAC) layer and the RF-IF part of the Physical (PHY) layer of the DECT protocol stack. These are part of a single-chip solution for the baseband processor of a mobile phone. This approach will be evaluated in comparison with the current industrial practice. N2C technology aims to fill very specific gaps in existing tool platforms and more specifically: high-level system modeling, HW-SW co-simulation and interface generation. It also supports additional co-design tasks like partitioning and co-synthesis. The final goal of this assessment is to isolate and point out the actual industrial needs for co-design through the evaluation of N2C according to the above characteristics
