MBD-DSP: A model based design solution for DSP

The general process of DSP software development maybe like this: i) create and simulate models in Simulink or other tools; ii) write C or assembly code in VisualDSP++, then generate executable flies. In this development mode, the models are used to verify the design, the needed executable flies have nothing to do with these models. So the developers suffer from the extra burden, which leads the low efficiency. Besides, some modeling tools do support code generation from created models, but the generated code is difficult to understand, this is because they are general purpose tools. With the above problems in mind, MBD-DSP is presented in this paper. MBD-DSP is not used to develop general purpose applications. Instead, we focus on domain specific development, especially on radar development.
