ABSTRACT:
Methods are provided for creating an electronic system. A subsystem hierarchy is created that includes a plurality of subsystems for the electronic system. Certain subsystems are associated with a clock domain including a first subsystem associated with one clock domain and a second subsystem associated with another clock domain. A first stub component is instantiated in the first subsystem and a second stub component is instantiated in the second subsystem. Each stub component is instantiated in a parent subsystem and is coupled to signals in the parent subsystem. Stub components are matched based on user-configurable data associated with each stub component. Each set of matching stub components is replaced with a synchronizer component selected based on type data associated with each stub component. The signals in the parent subsystem for the matched stub components are coupled to the selected synchronizer component.
