Abstract
The codesign of hardware and software is an up-to-date issue. For increasing network data rates high performance communication subsystems are needed. This paper discusses an approach of a semiautomated HW/SW-implementation using a microprocessor and an FPGA-based flexible hardware platform. Moreover, an increasing productivity in implementing such systems efficiently and correctly is needed. Therefore, the semi-automated approach is applied to an implementation of a modern communication protocol on the flexible platform.
