Abstract

The paper presents a hardware/software cosynthesis environment for embedded systems which is currently being developed at the Computer Architecture Group of the University of Oldenburg. We use two graphical formalisms as specification languages and synthesize code for a multiprocessor rapid prototyping board. The two major problems we deal with are first, to realize an efficient distributed execution of the specified system and second, to develop automated interface code generation for the hardware and software parts of the system under design
