Abstract
In this days, the concept of time-to-market is important in embedded systems in consumer electronics. According to the short time of development period, it is also important in development of Software Development toolkits (SDKs). However, it is not improved to the development time of SDKs specialized in new processors. In this point, the Architecture Description Language (ADL) is an alternative to relieve the pain of building the SDKs as the required SDKs can be automatically generated from ADL for the processor. In this paper, we automatically generate SDKs specialized in processors using GNU Binutils. Through this research, we can more easier and faster produce the SDKs such as assembler and linker than by using handcrafted code.
