Abstract
A high-level synthesis method is provided for synthesizing a register transfer level logic circuit based on a behavioral description in which processing behaviors are described. The method includes the steps of extracting information on a bus connection resource from the behavioral description, storing the information on the bus connection resource in a bus connection resource database, referencing the bus connection resource database, referencing a bus protocol library having a preloaded bus protocol, and automatically generating a target interface circuit based on a result of each of the bus connection resource database referencing step and the bus protocol library referencing step.
