Abstract: An important aspect in providing high performance distributed systems such as multimedia sys-tems is the combined use of hardware and software in the end systems. System design techniques should allow HW/SW (hardware/software) co-design to integrate both means of implementation. In this paper, we show how the standardized formal language Estelle can be used to facilitate co-design. The system to be developed will first be designed in Estelle. At the point in time of final decision on which parts to implement in software and which in hardware, the original specifica-tion will be split into several partial specifications. The software parts are translated into C code, while the hardware parts are translated into VHDL code for further analysis and development. We present a tool environment which supports the protocol developer in the design and implementa-tion process. An example shows the usefulness of the tool environment.
