Abstract

COSYMA is a HW/SW-cosynthesis system for small embedded controllers. The final simulation of the COSYMA output leads to impractical computation time. Therefore, we decided to employ a hardware prototyping system. The HW/SW prototyping system consists of a SPARC processor, an FPGA-based coprocessor with HW/SW debugging features realized with a high speed microcontroller.
