| Sumario: | The increasing complexity in today’s systems and the limited market times demand new development tools for FPGA. Currently, in addition to traditional hardware description languages (HDLs), there are high-level synthesis (HLS) tools that increase the abstraction level in system development. Despite the greater simplicity of design and testing, HLS has some drawbacks in describing hardware.
This paper presents a comparative study between HLS and HDL for FPGA, using a Sobel filter as a case study in the image processing field. The results show that the HDL implementation is slightly better than the HLS version considering resource usage and response time. However, the programming effort required in the HDL solution is significantly larger than in the HLS counterpart. |
