Abstract: “Productivity gap on SoC design is a challenge to address in design method research area. Main research topics in this area address this problem using many schemes and methods. Software for automation in a system design and implementation is one solution to address design time efficiency. The second one is parallelism concept in hardware/software co-design. This approach addresses both design time efficiency and flexibility. This paper proposes an automated SoC design software with respect to parallelism and automation concept. Hardware/software co-design is an implementation of parallelism concept. In the traditional design, the main concept is hardware design and then software design. In this paper we did both design in parallel mode. The result showed that the proposed method can reduce much more time than before.”
