Abstract :
We provide an overview of a MATLABTM based hardware-software design flow that has been applied to the design of a platform based SoC for the HiperLAN/2 and IEEE 802.11 wideband wireless communication standards. Starting from a high-level algorithmic description, the MATLABTM environment serves as a "golden model" and universal, cycle-true testbench for the embedded hardware and software implementation. A universal interface concept allows the exchange of modules with different abstraction levels in a cosimulation. This way, a high confidence level for the design validation is achieved, and both design and validation time is substantially reduced
