Abstract
The rapid advances in microelectronic circuit design have dramatically increased the design complexity of modern integrated devices. One approach to fit the time-to-market requirements is the use of rapid prototyping environments. In this paper we introduce a new FPGA based prototyping environment, on which a full functional embedded system can be implemented. The main distinction to other environments is the incorporation of a synthesizable and configurable microprocessor core into the design space. Furthermore we present the application of this environment to the development of a network processor which consists of a processor core and an Ethernet controller.
