Abstract

In this paper we propose a system-level design environment, aimed at System-on-Chip (SOC) designs, including real-time embedded software. While many SOC modeling languages originate from hardware description languages, and thus tend to describe statical architectures, we observe that embedded software makes SOC designs essentially dynamic, and so a SOC modeling environment must include dynamic behavior. Such behavior is analogous to the services an Operating System offers in the software world, hence the term System-on-Chip Operating System (SoCOS).
