Abstract :
The problem of reasonable architectural and micro-architectural (at the level of functional blocks organization) synthesis still remains essential and the least formalized for complex embedded systems. Hardware and software components use configuration mechanisms at many system levels, which considerably complicates design. The HLD-methodology (High Level Design) of embedded systems design allows expanding and raising the analysis quality of architectural decisions space. It is achieved by, first of all, application of architectural abstractions system with the central concept of the computational mechanism; a principle of architectural model design with the minimum dependence on hardware-software realization; actualization model of computational process on design-time and run-time system life cycle phases; aspect model of design process.
