ABSTRACT:
Method and System for implementing a Finite State Machine (FSM) using software executed on a processor and having accurate timing information is described, where the accurate timing information is determined without the need to execute the software. An exemplary embodiment includes an IC having an embedded processor and a programmable logic fabric, where part or all of an FSM is implemented using assembly language code stored in a memory, for example, a cache memory, of the embedded processor.
