Embedded DSP Processor Design Using Coware Processor Designer and Magma Layout Tool
A Digital Signal Processing (DSP) application can be implemented in a variety of ways. The objective of this project is to design an Embedded DSP Processor. The desired processor is run by an instruction set. Such a processor is called an Application Specific Instruction Set Processor (ASIP). ASIP is becoming essential to convergent System on Chip (SoC) Design. Usually there are two approaches to design an ASIP. One of them is at Register Transfer Level (RTL) and another is at just higher level than RTL and is known as Electronic System Level (ESL). Application Description Languages (ADLs) are becoming popular recently because of its quick and optimal design convergence achievement capability during the design of ASIPs. In this project we first concentrate on the implementation and optimization of an ASIP using an ADL known as Language for Instruction Set Architecture (LISA) and CoWare Processor Designer environment. We have written a LISA 2.0 description of the processor. Given a LISA code, the CoWare Processor Designer (PD) then generates Software Development tools like assembler, disassembler, linker and compiler. A particular application in assembly language to find out the convolution using FIR filter is then run on the processor. Provided that the functionality of the processor is correct, synthesizable RTL for the processor can be generated using Coware Processor Generator. Using the RTL generated, we implemented our processor in the following IC Design technologies: • Semi-Custom IC Design Technology Here, the RTL is synthesized using Magma Blast Create Tool and the final Layout is drawn using Magma Blast Fusion Tool • Programmable Logic Device IC Design Technology Here, the processor is dumped to a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The FPGA used for this purpose is Xilinx Virtex II Pro.

Software Defined Radio makes wireless communications easier, more efficient, and more reliable. This book bridges the gap between academic research and practical implementation. When beginning a project, practicing engineers, technical managers, and graduate students can save countless hours by considering the concepts presented in these pages. The author covers the myriad options and trade-offs available when selecting an appropriate hardware architecture. As demonstrated here, the choice between hardware- and software-centric architecture can mean the difference between meeting an aggressive schedule and bogging down in endless design iterations. Because of the author’s experience overseeing dozens of failed and successful developments, he is able to present many real-life examples. Some of the key concepts covered are: Choosing the right architecture for the market – laboratory, military, or commercial, Hardware platforms – FPGAs, GPPs, specialized and hybrid devices, Standardization efforts to ensure interoperability and portabilitym State-of-the-art components for radio frequency, mixed-signal, and baseband processing. The text requires only minimal knowledge of wireless communications; whenever possible, qualitative arguments are used instead of equations. An appendix provides a quick overview of wireless communications and introduces most of the concepts the readers will need to take advantage of the material. An essential introduction to SDR, this book is sure to be an invaluable addition to any technical bookshelf.

As the number of processor cores and IP blocks integrated on a single chip is steadily growing, a systematic approach to design the communication infrastructure becomes necessary. Different variants of packed switched on-chip networks have been proposed by several groups during the past two years. This book summarizes the state of the art of these efforts and discusses the major issues from the physical integration to architecture to operating systems and application interfaces. It also provides a guideline and vision about the direction this field is moving to. Moreover, the book outlines the consequences of adopting design platforms based on packet switched network. The consequences may in fact be far reaching because many of the topics of distributed systems, distributed real-time systems, fault tolerant systems, parallel computer architecture, parallel programming as well as traditional system-on-chip issues will appear relevant but within the constraints of a single chip VLSI implementation.
