In the field of embedded systems, reconfigurable processors, composed of a standard processor core coupled with a reconfigurable device, are gaining more and more importance. Algorithm developers are facing the issue of mapping applications on configurable hardware, without a specific knowledge of the underlying architecture. In this paper, we present a modular data flow control unit for a reconfigurable datapath, which can be easily programmed starting from the C description of the required functionality.
