Abstract

When solving problems efficiently by Hardware-Software cooperation, a lot of extra work such as circuit design, software design, Hardware/Software interface design, etc, has to be done. In order to reduce this workload, we propose a co-design framework using ET, and introduce a flexible cooperation system using HwModule Board. A problem can then be easily described by ET rules, the ET description can be safely divided into hardware and software descriptions, and the cooperation system can be flexibly adapted to them via the framework.
