Integration of hardware and software tools for VLSI SoC class design support

Design of radio-electronic equipment is connected with formation of the heterogeneous design environment that contains hard and soft solutions from different company. The heterogeneous design environment generates the set of problems. Most of them does not have unified information solutions, in particular, complexity of operating decisions-making and data transmission of design information. One of the well-known way to solve the problem is the integration and formation of unified information environment. The paper presents the method of integration of heterogeneous hardware and software design support tools of the radio-electronic equipment in the unified information environment. As an example, the stage of system design of the digital goniometric satellite navigation receiver using the Global Navigation Satellite System GLONASS is presented. For information exchange between elements of the information environment the transformer to the uniform data format on the basis of the XML language is used. The implementation of the automated workstation for the GNSS receiver design and testing is also considered.
