System specification is one of the main tasks in any HW/SW co-design methodology. Many languages are being used based on different underlying models. None of them has been developed specifically for general purpose, real-time, HW/SW embedded system specification and design. In this paper, Ada [1] is proposed for the specification of complex, real-time, embedded systems containing functions to be implemented either in hardware or software. Its suitability for this kind of application will be analyzed and its role in a complete HW-SW co-design methodology will be described. The codesign methodology proposed is based on the interrelated use of both Ada and VHDL. Both are standard languages with a very similar syntax, based on the same programming concepts.
