Abstract: VHDL and other hardware description languages have become popular as system specification languages in top-down design. However, their constructs do not support the behavioral specification of embedded systems. We introduce a new conceptual design model, called Program-State Machines, that caters to embedded systems. We then describe the SpecCharts language, an extended version of VHDL, which supports capture of this design model. In conjunction with a translator to VHDL, SpecCharts can be... (Update)

.... machines (CFSMs) 12] combining synchronous dataflow (SDF) 1] with finite state machines (FSMs) 13] 6] and program state machines [14]. Most of these approaches have limited composability as control and data flow cannot be mixed arbitrarily in the hierarchical levels....

.... AutoFOCUS leads itself naturally to both software [4] or hardware synthesis, similar to other synchronous formalisms such as SpecCharts [17], Esterel [3] or Statecharts [8] An integrated simulation tool should allow interactive simulation of the system model while...
