Automatic generation of HW-SW interfaces for MPSOC

This paper presents a high-level component-based methodology and design environment for application-specific multicore SoC architectures, developed in the group SLS, TIMA Laboratory, France. This paper presents the work of this group published in several papers. This bottom up approach allows design-architects to explore efficient custom solutions with best performances. The system specifications are represented as a virtual architecture described in a SystemC-like model and annotated with a set of configuration parameters. This component-based design environment provides automatic wrapper-generation tools able to synthesize hardware interfaces, device drivers, and operating systems that implement a high-level interconnect API
