ESL Design

Languages, architectures, and algorithms describes how many of the current DSP designs are done in Matlab and then have to be hand-coded in C type languages. Perhaps it's wishful thinking, but the hope is to have a direct mapping between the higher level design and the RTL.

the EDA industry as a whole is poised to leap to new levels of design abstraction. Commonly referred to as electronic system-level (ESL) design, this design method encompasses both the languages used to represent designs at a very high level of abstraction and the appropriate synthesis technology that can transform these representations into their implementation-level counterparts.
(Somewhat reminiscent of the UML designers who'd like to bypass hand-coding in C++ and Java).

CTM

I have been following LtU for sometime now and finally decided to start with CTM after reading some great reviews. I am stuck with the mozart system. I am using FC3. Was anyone able to run the examples in the book successfully in mozart?

Thanks
