A new model for system level hardware and software co-design based on SystemC

This paper analyses the characteristic of SystemC and gives a new model for system design based on SystemC.The model analyses the system function,refines to establish transaction model and communication model,and then abstracts to form the final communication model.It will implement RTL level synthesis to finish hardware and software co-design.In the design of a navigation chip,the new method is used.It has greatly shorten the development cycle,and reduced the development costs and improved,the quality of system design.
