Abstract: A method of operating a computer system to design an application specific processor (ASP) comprises defining a set of peripherals for the ASP which are responsive to stimuli and which communicate with a processor, generating for each peripheral an input file which defines the functional attributes of that peripheral in a high level language with an input data structure, entering the input file into the computer system and operating a modelling tool loaded on the computer system to generate from the input file a register definition file by allocating specific elements of the input data structure to predefined sectors of a register definition table, and using the register definition file to create in silicon the registers of the ASP.

Abstract: A modelling tool for use in defining an ASP which receives as its input an input file which for each of a set of peripherals defines the functional attributes of that peripheral in a high level language with an input data structure and which generates from the input file,

(i) an interface functions file, which defines the communication attributes of the peripheral with the processor and the functional attributes of the peripheral in a manner independent of any particular data structure,
(ii) a test functions file which defines the communication attributes of the processor with the peripheral in a manner independent of any particular data structure, and
(iii) a register definition file by allocating specific elements of the input data structure to predefined sectors of a register definition table.
