The impact of design quality on electronic designs being phenomenal, the trend towards proven design methods has received considerable attention from the electronic design community. In this work, we present one such method followed in Philips Research for HW-SW codesign and verification. The method starts with an application code and goes through the various steps of HW-SW partitioning and verification and culminates in an IP with a proven design quality. We illustrate the method through the design of a multi-standard video and image codec.
