SCA is proposed in order to operate various wireless systems in the single terminal platforms and uses the CORBA middleware to guarantee the platform-independence for software components. As the reconstruction demand is expanded in the software component to the logic level to many reasons, CORBA has to guarantee the independence of hardware on board. Accordingly. the characteristics depending on hardware board is ed. And the IDL-based interworking interface about the component has to be provided. In this paper, we described about local transport for guaranteeing the independency on the hardware board and the HAO Core for providing a coupling by the CORBA IDL identically with the other component. HAO produced at 2,900 logic cell size in average and provided the performance of the tens times than the software component. Through the use of HAO in the SCA-based development environment, it was naturally expanded to not only the software area but also the FPGA logic.
