Abstract
In this paper, we propose a CORBA middleware extension which is suitable to SCA based communication environment. The extensions guarantee the components to interconnect others without consideration about its implementation way and enables the developers to easily achieve the performance improvements in comparison to the existing methodology. This extension includes the HAO, the IDL2VHDL compiler, and the improvement of ORBit. The HAO is ORB implemented in logic level and is limited the some function according to the characteristic of FPGA. In addition, the IDL2VHDL compiler provides the mapping from CORBA IDL to VHDL, the VHSIC hardware description language, and the additional procedures for processing the component. Finally, the improved ORBit, CORBA ORB on GPP, can be direct connecting with the HAO on FPGA.
