Embedded Software Generation from System Level Design Languages

Abstract — To meet the challenge of increasing design com-plexity, designers are turning to system level design languages (SLDLs) to model systems at a higher level of abstraction. This paper presents a method of automatically generating embedded software from system specification written in SLDL. Several re-finement steps and intermediate models are introduced in our software generation flow. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method by a tool which can generate efficient ANSI C code from system models written in SLDL. I
