Design and Implementation of Binary Utilities Generator

Abstract

This paper presents a framework for generating assembler and disassembler from ADL (architecture description language), which enables processor architecture designers to explore a large design space by quickly modifying the architecture description written in high abstraction level ADL. We present our ADL: GADL(GNU tool chain based ADL) and propose the binary utilities generation algorithms for GADL. Some issues are discussed and resolved which have not been covered by related research. We have implemented the binary utilities generator with the proposed algorithms and used it to generate the binary utilities for a DSP we are designing, which shows the efficiency of the algorithms.
