Abstract(in English) This paper presents a co-design environment for embedded systems, which consist of both embedded processors and programmable devices. To assure long life cycle of products, the latest embedded systems are required high flexibility. Embedded processors are utilized very well to solve the problems. When a processor-based system is not equipped with processing performance sufficient as hardware platform of target products, programmable devices such as FPGA are also integrated simultaneously. However, development of their system is very complex to describe both a programming language and a hardware description language as compared with processor-based systems. Our co-design environment, which consists of commercial-based EDA tools and our libraries, allows application designers to develop FPGA/CPU based systems in C-programming language. As a case study, an image processing application is implemented in two kinds of hardware platforms on the environment. As the result, we have confirmed that the environment enables us to develop systems in much shorter period than traditional ones do.
