Objectif - Design of an improved application in the telecom domain applying the prototype co-design environment TOSCA. A control module of the UT100 public switching exchange system has been selected.- Improvement of the prototype tool TOSCA exploiting the industrial experience in system design gained with the application.- Development of a design methodology and an integrated design flow for hardware/software mixed applications, considering in particular the phases of system specification and architectural exploration.- Dissemination of the results of the project driven by a detailed technology transfer plan, including workshops presentations mainly aimed at SMEs.- Exploitation of the engineering knowledge of the CAD vendor in order to gain enough confidence to bring the prototype environment eventually to the market.The development of an improved design methodology for mixed hardware/software embedded systems with real-time constraints is required for telecom applications. A design flow for this type of application will be developed and tested using a prototype environment developed at COGEFO/CEFRIEL, named TOSCA. This environment allows the user to specify and bind different parts of a design to hardware or software units. A critical control module for telecom applications will be designed exploiting the TOSCA environment, and analyses of hardware and software partitioning will be evaluated. From this design experience, improvements and user requirements will be implemented in the prototype environment. A marketing activity will be activated by the CAD vendor to introduce the design methodology thus identified to other potential customers for possible commercial exploitation.
