“…We use the gcc compiler to synthesize the machine code of the software processes and download it into the program memory of each processor in the generated MPSoC platform. The emergence of the MPSoC communication architecture models used currently is characterized by a high level of parallelism to support multiple processors and large bandwidth [2]. Automatic model refinement for communication architecture enables rapid design space exploration in order to achieve the required productivity gains [9].…”

In this paper we present a methodology and tool for rapid prototyping of real time image processing applications. We describe our design flow of multiprocessor system on chip (MPSoC) architectures based on hardware/software components. This methodology provides automated methods to specify, generate the hardware, software, and the architectural interfaces between them. Our methodology starts from system level specification of the application with parallel processes described in C-code. The processes communicate through an abstract channel called streams. We describe also the solution that we proposed to synthesize a custom bus architecture for the reconfigurable computing applications, which therefore allows minimizing hardware cost in the FPGA. On the other hand, this methodology allows generating the communication architecture based on the needs of the application. Finally, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach through an image processing application.

The testing of cyber-physical systems requires validating device functionality for a wide range of operating conditions. The environment with which the cyber-physical device interacts, such as lungs for a medical ventilator device or a busy freeway for an autonomous vehicle, may be complex and subsequently difficult to explore all possible configurations. Computer simulations that utilize device and environment behavioral models may be used as a first stage of testing, but at some point development must occur using the real device running in real-time. We present a codesign framework for aiding cyber-physical device development where real devices or prototypes are connected to real-time models that simulate the interacting environment. Such test setups are known as digital mockups and allow for testing environment scenarios that are hard to capture with commonly-used but limited physical mockups. The framework supports model hardware/software codesign to enable models of varying speed and accuracy to be implemented within an embedded processor or as a custom coprocessor circuit on an FPGA. We describe an accompanying tool that generates code templates to reduce the time required to develop digital mockup test setups. We utilize the framework to build a digital mockup test setup for a commercial ventilator, and showcase codesign capabilities by implementing environmental models as both circuits and as instructions on a processor.
