Image Processing LSI Design by C Base Language

In late years, the tendency to shift the design language of electronic circuits from HDL to C-based languages of C/C)1 and so on is strengthened. The current of adopting these software languages thrives by necessity to solve the problem peculiar to HDL that verification of design is difficult. When we use C-based languages, we can describe the design by higher abstraction degree, mount the design as both hardware and software finally and so that express the design part which is not made clear at early stage the same one language. Therefore, the flexibility of design very improves, the design work in environment the range of applying the whole systems become possible. This paper introduces example at having applied C-based languages in image processing LSI design and describes that the design technique of C-based languages is effective for the system design.
