Abstract :
The paper presents a method for automatic RTL-interface synthesis for a given C++ function as well as for a given SystemC-interface. This task is very important in High-Level Synthesis design flow where design entry is usually done in some abstract language (e.g. C++). As a source high-level description targets different SoC architectures or protocols, so it is needed to generate relevant pin-level interfaces and protocols automatically.
