Abstract :
Automation of the hardware/software codesign methodology brings with it the need to develop sophisticated high-level synthesis tools. This paper presents a tool which is the result of such development. This tool converts standard C code into an equivalent VHDL behavioural description. This description is used to generate a chip-level hardware interconnect of identical functionality to the original C code
