Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) ArchC is a C++/SystemC-based open-source software, which generates software development environments (consisting of Binutils, an instruction simulator, and its GDB interface) from relatively simple architecture description of target processors. The current version of ArchC, however, can deal with only RISC architectures with fixed instruction word length. This article proposes a method of extending ArchC to handle VLIW processors. The ArchC architecture description language as well as the tool generators is extended so that software development environments for VLIW processors specified by the language are auto-generated. For an example VLIW processor, which is a simple fourfold parallelization of a BrownieSTD32 RISC processor, the extended tool generator successfully generated the Binutils and a simulator, which correctly assembled and executed an assembly code for the processor.
