Based on the theories of EA (Evolutionary Algorithm) and EHW (Evolvable Hardware), we devise an EHW-based software-hardware co-designing platform ECDP, on which we provided standards for hardware system encoding and evolving operation designing, as well as circuit emulating tools. The major features of this system are: two-layer-encoding of circuit structure, off-line evolving with software emulation and the evolving of genetic program designing. With this system, we implemented the auto-designing of some soft-ware-hardware systems, like the random number generator.
