ABSTRACT	Embedded systems are broadly defined as systems designed for a particular application. The functionality of an embedded system is divided into hardware and software components. Synthesis of the hardware component involves designing a custom circuit for the hardware portion of the input application. Synthesis of the software component consists of designing a processor that is suited for the software portion of the input application and generating code that implements the functionality of the software component on the designed processor. Short design cycles and increasing embedded system complexity make it impractical to perform manual processor architecture exploration and code generation. In order to effectively explore the design space for the software component of embedded systems, a retargetable code generator is required. This thesis presents the Aviv retargetable code generator that generates optimized machine code for a specified target processor. Aviv is capable of compiling ap...	user correction - Legacy Corrections
