SOFTWARE AND DRIVER SYNTHESIS FROM TRANSACTION LEVEL MODELS
Haobo Yu, Rainer Dömer, Daniel D. Gajski · Kluwer Academic Publishers eBooks · 2005
This work presents a method of automatically generating embedded software including bus driver code from a transaction level model (TLM). For the application software, a real time operating system (RTOS) adapter is introduced to model scheduling and synchronization at C level. ANSI-C code is generated targeting this RTOS adapter. Bus drivers are also automatically created for HW/SW communication. Finally, the software image file is created from the C code, bus driver code, RTOS adapter and RTOS library code. As a result, efficient embedded software is synthesized from abstract, target CPU independent source code, eliminating the need for manual RTOS targeting, I/O driver coding and system integration. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
