Abstract

This article presents a language translator that allows the use of SDL as a front-end, high-level graphical description tool for hardware design. A subset of this language is proposed for hardware design, including a synthesisable model for SDL´s signal-based communication. An algorithm to translate this subset to fully synthesisable VHDL is proposed and implemented in a public-domain software package
