With VSP-TAP, real code executes at real speed on the chosen target microprocessor, in or out of the target system. The complexity of embedded systems software has grown dramatically. As a result, the software-hardware integration phase, which represents the critical path for an embedded systems project, has become much more challenging. Applied Microsystems plug their products in this paper, which is mostly a cost justification of spending money on tools to save engineering time. The Architecture Exploration Process Architecture exploration is the process of generating and evaluating several hardware and software architectures from a formal system level specification.
Productivity is gained by working at higher levels of design abstraction.
Hardware Software Codesign Mailing list Email mailing list devoted to discussion of all topics related to the concurrent design, or co-design, of the hardware and software components of a digital system. Web page presents postings by year. Most postings are conference related. OSCI is comprised of a community and a steering group. The community consists of a large and growing number of system houses, semiconductor companies, IP providers, embedded software companies and EDA tool vendors.
