Abstract
The present invention provides a state diagramming environment in a computing device that enables the conversion of a state diagram into a hardware description language. To achieve this conversion, the present invention generates an intermediate representation of the state diagram. The intermediate representation is checked against a set of predefined restrictions for compliance. The state diagramming environment converts the intermediate representation of the state diagram into a hardware description language, such as VHDL or Verilog.
