Rapid Prototyping Of Dedicated Systems Based On Bit-Serial Universal Architecture

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present the method of rapid prototyping for reducing development cost of dedicated systems. Prototypes are build to assess whether proposed system will be acceptable to its user and whether, a proposed design will provide adequate functionality and performance. In this paper the designing method is proposed, for real-time embedded systems. This approach is based on modeling using modification of Petri nets called hardware Petri nets. Implementation is made using special hardware bit-serial universal architecture. The main advantage is that, there is во need to change hardware, even all used algorithms mast be changed. There is a possibility to make all design process to be almost fully automated from modeling to working prototype.
