Abstract

The co-design of hardware and software systems with object oriented design languages like SystemC has become very popular. Static analysis of those descriptions allows to conduct the design process with metrics regarding quality of the code as well as with estimations of the properties of the final design. This paper shows the utilization of software metrics and the computation of high level metrics for SystemC, whose generation is embedded into a complete design methodology. The performance of this analysis process is demonstrated on a UMTS cell searching unit.
