Abstract :
A high-level, component-based methodology and design environment for multiprocessor SoC architectures reduces design time without significant efficiency loss in the final circuit. This design environment provides tools for automatic wrapper generation that synthesize hardware interfaces, device drivers, and operating systems implementing high-level interconnect APIs.
