Abstract
Method and apparatus for designing an embedded system for a programmable logic device (PLD) is described. Parameters specific to the embedded system are obtained. Source code files that use the parameters to define configurable attributes of the base platform are generated. A software definition and a hardware definition are obtained. The software and hardware definitions each use an application programming interface (API) of the base platform to define communication between software and hardware of the embedded system. An implementation of the embedded system is automatically built for the PLD using the source code files, the software definition, and the hardware definition.
