ABSTRACT:
A method for designing a system LSI includes the steps of dividing an algorithmic description of the system LSI into software and hardware groups, synthesizing the hardware group by behavior synthesis to create an RTL description and a simulation description, examining the circuit scale of the system LSI based on the RTL description, and simulating the system LSI based on the simulation description and a software description.
