Abstract
Implementing an electronic design having software-implemented blocks and hardware-implemented blocks. A specification of the electronic design is created in response to selection of blocks from a library, and at least one of the blocks is available for implementation in a selectable one of a software implementation for an embedded processor on a programmable logic device (PLD) and a hardware implementation on the PLD. A specification of each block in a first subset is obtained from the library and translated into an execution function of the software implementation of the block. Peripheral functions are generated for connections between blocks in the first subset and blocks in a second subset, which are designated for a hardware implementation on the PLD. A program is generated that invokes each peripheral function and each execution function in an order determined from the interconnections between the blocks.
