IP encapsulation: Approach and Case Study

The recent emergence of component-based designs helps the design of systems daring the refinement step between algorithmic specifications and architecture specifications. Designers' attempts such as flexibility, cost constraints, high performance and time to market can thus be helpfully managed. However, the correct integration of the architectures/components in a design implies complex verification/design problems. The proposed approach addresses the design of cycle accurate bit accurate (CABA) generic interface of such instantiated components. This paper suggests an IP encapsulation approach relying on a generic interface model considering the object oriented issues for simulation and architecture generation toward synthesis. The automatic interface generation has been experimented on the object motion detection (OMD) algorithm
