System Level Specification in Lava
Satnam Singh · Design, Automation, and Test in Europe · 2003
The Lava system provides novel techniques for representing system level specifications which are supported by a design flow that maps Lava descriptions onto System-on-Chip platforms implemented on very large FPGAs. The key contribution of this paper is a type class based approach for specifying bus-based system configurations. This provides a very flexible and parameterised flow for combining pre-designed IP blocks into a complete FPGA-based system.
