ABSTRACT:
A method (100) of translating an imperative language function into a parameterized hardware component can include the steps of using (102) formal imperative function arguments to represent at least one among a component input port and a component parameter and distinguishing (104) between formal imperative function arguments intended as component parameters from formal imperative function arguments intended as component input ports. The method can generate (106) hardware description by providing a framework where imperative language functions can be translated into hardware components by being instantiated, combined and simulated. Arbitrary code can be associated (108) to a function-importing block as parameterization code and enabling an assignment of arbitrary code to actual imperative function arguments. The arbitrary code can be executed (110) in an interpreter that analyzes assigned variables by name and compares variable names with the formal argument identifiers in an imported function.
