Abstract
This contribution reports on an approach to hardware/software codesign based on a state transition system design language MAD. MAD has been used for software design for some time, but is now being extended to hardware design by adding the hardware description language VHDL as one of its target languages. The experience of adding a new dimension (i.e. hardware) to the design space and of dealing with some state-of-the-art hardware development methods and tools is presented. The approach is illustrated with an implementation of a control system for an elevator. Key words: Hardware-software codesign, Real-time languages, Real-time systems, Embedded systems, Distributed control, Hierarchical control, Process control, Control applications, Software engineering, Hardware description languages, Programmable logic devices, Micro-systems. 1 Introduction Hardware description languages (HDLs) are increasingly being used to describe behavior, structure, data-flow, or logic gates structure of hardw...
