Abstract
An automated system-on-chip (SOC) hardware and software cogeneration design flow allows an SOC designer, using a single source description for any platform-independent combination of reused or new IP blocks, to produce a configured hardware description language (HDL) description of the circuitry necessary to implement the SOC, while at the same time producing the development tools (e.g., compilers, assemblers, debuggers, simulator, software support libraries, reset sequences, etc.) used to generate the SOC software and the diagnostics environment used to verify the SOC.
