Abstract
SDL (Specification and Description Language) is popular for communication protocol design. SDL tools allow simulating and verifying SDL models. In this paper, we show how SDL models can be transformed into hardware/software implementations for embedded systems. Our design flow contains a lightweight operating system integration layer and a cosimulation framework that supports hardware/software partitioning. The design methodology has been applied to an implementation of the IEEE 802.15.3 MAC protocol. We present results from a prototypical system including a protocol accelerator.
