In this paper we present an environment for synthesis and simulation of the industrial digital system composed of the target microprocessor, memory and hardware devices. We use C++ for coding the program for the target microprocessor and VHDL for describing the operations in hardware. The presented system combines C++ compiler and VHDL tools for simulating the design. The applicability of the environment for performance estimation of the designed digital system is demonstrated.
