Abstract
The interest in System-On-Chip (SoC) design using the Unifed Modeling Language (UML) has been growing significantly during the last couple of years. In this paper we would like to present a methodology that aims to address embedded systems design issues at multiple levels of abstraction and to support a function/architecture codesign process. Our approach integrates UML with high-level synthesis and hardware/software co-verification techniques in order to provide an automated flow for SoC design starting from system-level specifications down to hardware/software partitioning and integration. UML has been selected because it is platform independent and helps team members to share very efficiently relevant information during the various design phases, while high-level synthesis helps to evaluate constraints that the embedded system must satisfy: e.g. performance, power and cost starting from behavioral specifications. The paper aims to give a contribution towards SoC Design automation from System-level specification to hardware/software partitioning.
