A tool to support Bluespec SystemVerilog coding based on UML diagrams
Sergio Henrique Moraes Durand, Vanderlei Bonato · 2012
The use of high level languages to support the development of embedded systems is a current trend. Such approach tends to reduce the development time and cost. The process of translating a high level representation to the final hardware and software architecture is desirable to be automatic encompassing as much as possible the requirements specified in high level model. This work proposes a new tool to support Bluespec SystemVerilog code generation based on models represented via Activity and State UML diagrams. The tool accepts as input the XMI format and the generation process is based on templates where the target language is represented.
