Abstract

Mixed systems are composed of interacting hardware components such as general-purpose processors, application-specific circuits and software components that executes on the general purpose hardware. The software component consists of application-specific routines that must deliver the required system functionality and a runtime environment. Further, the software is required to deliver functionality under constraints of timing and memory storage available. We consider methods to achieve software generation under imposed constraints and demonstrate the utility of our approach by examples
