We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "ESL design",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Software for Xilinx electronic system level design from
Synplicity, which we summarised at the time by saying "Synplicity has joined the Xilinx ESL Initiative, adding its Synplify DSP software to the Xilinx ESL design ecosystem".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Design software receives new support from
CoWare: "Platform Architect components generated by Carbon Model Studio are integrated through CoWare's SystemC Modelling Library (SCML)".
In September 2007, we covered the news from CoWare
concerning its IBM PowerPC 440 and IBM CoreConnect models
- take a look at Model sets enable hardware verification
which says: "CoWare's platform-driven ESL design solution enables hardware verification, architecture exploration and software development on IBM PowerPC 440 and CoreConnect-based platforms".
Take a look also at the news release from CoWare, Collaboration produces ESL design environment,
as well as Style guide sets standard for SystemC design from HD Lab,
and DATE keynote to focus on SoC challenges from Toshiba Electronics Europe.
