Rapid FPGA prototyping of a DAB test data generator using protocol compiler

摘要

To enhance efficiency in FPGA based rapid prototping of digital telecommunication applications, we incorporated modeling and synthesis facilities of the Protocol Compiler into a proved design flow. This paper focuses on domain specific modeling styles and synthesis strategies aiming at design improvement, changeability and reuse. We discuss design and implementation of a DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) Test Data Generator which produces hierarchical structured data streams according to the DAB protocol. Summarizing the results, we improved design quality and efficiency.
