摘要:This paper presents an electronic design automation (EDA) software for generating synthesizable VHDL modules for hardware applications of multimedia data processing. The tool provides a rapidprototyping design environment by enabling dynamic storage and retrieval of reusable modules, parameterized design entry, hierarchical design exploration, listbased component interface insertion, and block diagram view of designs. This produces a design environment, which enables fast design development cycle by improving design productivity to meet the fast evolving standards of multimedia formats. A test case design of a JPEG decoder has been built using the tool. Implementation of the design in FPGA has proven the capability of the tool in handling large and complex designs.
