| Summary: | As System-on-Chip (SoC) based embedded systems
have become a defacto industry standard, their overall design
complexity has increased exponentially in recent years,
necessitating the introduction of new seamless methodologies
and tools to handle the SoC codesign aspects. This paper
presents a novel SoC co-design methodology based on Model
Driven Engineering and the Modeling and Analysis
of Real-Time and Embedded Systems (MARTE) standard, permitting us
to raise the abstraction levels and allows to model fine grain
reconfigurable architectures such as FPGAs. Extensions of this
methodology have enabled us to integrate new features such as
Partial Dynamic Reconfiguration supported by Modern FPGAs.
The overall objective is to carry out system modeling at a high
abstraction level expressed in a graphical language like
Unified Modeling Language (UML) and afterwards transformation
of these models automatically generate the necessary code for
FPGA synthesis. |
