Reconfigurable supercomputing has been used by many high-performance computer systems to accelerate the processing speed. Thus, it is the present trend to use the microprocessor to combine with reconfigurable FPGA as the embedded system platform. However, the hardware-software co-design and integration of embedded system become great challenges of the designer. Beside this, the communication between hardware and software is crucial for the system to be operated effectively. Our concept consists of the design of FPGA configuration, described in I-Link hardware/software integration, improve the communication among the hardware and software. Besides, by using command packet method, we put the data to multi-hardware through hardware management unit (HMU). While system is operated, The Boot Loader will set up TCB and HCB data structure through PSP. The PSP can be regarded as the important reference segment of messages switching among system and hardware/software. The HMU has data buffering and management ability which can let the processes more easy and smooth. We successfully accomplish a hardware-software integrated system in HSCP, which is developed in our laboratory. The basic components of our platform include ARM7TDMI CPU, memory and Altera ACEK 1K-100 of FPGA. By using ARM-code, we also preliminary accomplish the Boot Loader, HW Constructor and self-developed embedded system. Finally, we make use of a large amount of multiplication operation and matrix summation to verify the feasibility of this system architecture.
