%X A flow is proposed which offers a programming approach to
   the systems design of application specific
   micro\-controllers. This flow is based on Handel\-C, an
   occam\-based language with C\-like syntax for hardware
   compilation. Tools have been developed for compilation and
   concurrent simulation (co\-simulation) of hardware and
   software parts of a system, and a reconfigurable board has
   been designed which can be used for rapid prototyping of the
   application specific micro\-controller. The final design can
   be compiled into a structural VHDL netlist for a standard
   cell ASIC process.
