摘要:
A process of automatically translating a high level programming language into an extended activity diagram (EAD), which can translate source codes coded by the high level programming language into a corresponding activity diagram (AD) before the high level language is translated into a hardware description language (HDL). The process adds a new translation rule in a compiler and modifies the AD specification of a unified modeling language (UML) to accordingly translate the source codes into the AD and present the programming logic and executing flow of the source codes in a visualization form. In addition, the process can translate the high level programming language into a unified format for representation, and the AD can benefit simulation and requirement in a following HDL translation.
摘要:
A process of automatically translating a high level programming language into a hardware description language (HDL), which can use a three-stage translation mechanism to generate the HDL codes corresponding to the functions described by the high level programming language. The first stage translates source codes coded by the high level programming language into an extended activity diagram (EAD). The second stage translates the EAD into a hardware component graph (HCG). The third stage generates the respective signal connections of HDL components according to all edges of the HCG, and outputs an HDL entity and architecture to a file in a string form, thereby completing the entire translation.

A process of automatically translating an extended activity diagram (EAD) into a hardware component graph (HCG). For translating the high level programming language into a Very High Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language (VHDL), the high level programming language is first translated into an activity diagram (AD), then the AD is translated into an HCG, which can indicate a connection relation between hardware components, and finally corresponding HDL codes are generated according to the HCG
摘要:
A method to hardware component graph translation process for a high-level programming language, which analyzes codes of a high-level programming language to collect class information and store the collected class information in a class information object, and generates a temporal hardware component graph to obtain corresponding public methods, parameters, return values. The public methods, parameters, return values are linked to a class start node. A method call table is generated according to both one or more in/out edges of a method call node and method information of the class information object. The one or more edges linked to the method call node are changed to a method start node according to the method call table to accordingly represent a respective method call in the codes of the high-level programming language and translate the temporal hardware component graph into a hardware component graph allowable to correspond to hardware components.

A method for testing a hardware circuit block written in a hardware description language (HDL) is provided, which can automatically produce a test pattern and an error message. The method includes converting an original class into a wrapper class, wherein the wrapper class, as compared to the original class, additionally records all input and output data of the hardware circuit block; producing a top module required for a hardware logic simulation; converting an original unit testing into an extended unit testing; using the extended unit testing to perform a unit testing on the wrapper class to thereby produce an input pattern file; and performing the hardware logic simulation on the hardware circuit block in accordance with the top module and the input pattern file.
