Objective
The main objective of the action is to investigate and do a feasibility on the improved utilisation of state-of-the-art tools (i.e. Virtuoso tools from Eonic Systems) to allow run-time support with core microprocessors for HW/SW codesign system-on-silicon implementations.
Expected results: real-time operating system tools are nowadays usually applied for software implementations on fixed pre-defined board level architectures. The main result that can be expected of this project will be the proof that these functionalities can be used as well for HW/SW co-designs making use of embedded cores (e.g. ARM7), and that they can be encapsulated in a global system design and synthesis flow.
Expected impact of results: the major impact of the project results will be that the utilisation of the Virtuoso run-time support tools with ultra-fast switching times can be extended from software implementations on fixed pre-defined board level architectures towards HW/SM co-designs with embedded cores (ARM7 in this project). This will allow other users to benefit from the establishments. For the user company itself, the feasibility study in this project can lead to an improved design efficiency and a higher design quality, for the ADSL application specifically but also for future applications.
Participation and contribution to open international workshops and/or conferences in the target area will be planned, at mid-term and at completion of the project period, to transfer the expertise and benefits of this project to other companies. Actions will be prepared by the tool vendor to facilitate the usage of their tools in future design flows, and to disseminate the expertise gained from this application experiment through their commercial contracts with other European companies. Since the activities of this project are really innovative but in line with the major trends in electronic system design, the potential for replication of the outcome of this project to other companies will be sufficiently high, and new research activities can be started-up.
