A VHDL-based system-design methodology
Daniel D. Gajski · 1994
As methodologies and tools for chip-level design mature, design effort becomes focused on increasingly higher levels of abstraction. We present a methodology and tool for system-level specification, design and refinement, based on VHDL, that results in an executable specification for each system component. The specification for each component can then be synthesized into hardware or compiled to software. We highlight advantages of the proposed methodology compared to current practice.>
