Abstract :
The goal of this paper is to propose a synthesis methodology useful for communication interfaces at transaction level. It can automate the synthesis process of high level peer-to-peer communications when IP cores each use a different type of communication structure and support changes in design interface in case of IP core changes. It can also manage different kinds of communication protocols at both sides of the channel.
