Abstract

Chapter 5 UML PROFILE FOR CODESIGN MODELING FRAME (CMF) 5. INTRODUCTION This chapter describes our framework, that, when taken together with the UML profile for schedulability, performance and time specification, or succinctly the UML real-time profile [29], constitutes the core concept for developing real-time embedded SoC systems in the platform-centric design environment. Our framework, called the Codesign Modeling Framework (CMF), builds upon the real-time foundation provided by the UML real-time profile; it exists as a supplemental package, and not as a replacement. The UML real-time profile is, at the time of writing, in the final phase before OMG standardization. The UML real-time profile offers a facility for modeling and analyzing real-time applications. Such a facility proves adequate for most software development processes. However, in the codesign environment where hardware and software developments often take place simultaneously, the profile becomes less useful—it is less capable of coping with the hardware development, let alone the complexity of the codesign environment where heterogeneous development processes intermingle systematically. The UML profile for Codesign Modeling Framework, is aimed at providing a solution to such issues. The profile adds to the UML real-time profile the frameworks for modeling exceptions (EMprofile), interrupts (IMprofile), synthesizable HDL (SHDLprofile),
