Codasip Studio

What is Codasip Studio

Codasip Studio is an ASIP design tool with its own IDE based on Eclipse. From a description of a processor written in CodAL (Codasip’s processor description language), users are able to generate the design implementation, verification environment, virtual system prototype, and complete redistributable programming environment. This fully-automated approach is much more effective than traditional design techniques.

Codasip Studio and Handly

From an architectural point of view, our handle-based high-level model serves a very important role as it is used by various components in the IDE - from project management through build system to configuration editors and others.

The main incentive for using Handly in Codasip Studio was that albeit being a very important part of almost every Eclipse IDE, handle-based models are not very discussed and documented topic. Handly changes that and brings a carefully designed implementation of this architectural pattern. In the end the integration of Handly was quite straightforward, thanks to a good documentation, well-designed API with almost no restrictions on a client side and an outstanding support from a project leader.

Conclusion

Codasip Studio is successfully used by major companies in the technology and consumer electronics field like AMD® or MobilEye®, which proves Handly to be already mature and stable enough for large-scale commercial products.

1C:Enterprise Development Tools and Handly

Handly is relatively new to Eclipse but it had been in development as part of 1C's Eclipse tooling efforts long before it became open sourced. Therefore, it’s not a coincidence that 1C:EDT is the earliest adopter of Handly.

In 1C:EDT, source code models for such diverse languages as 1C:Enterprise script and 1C:Enterprise query language are based on Handly. These models enjoy all the facilities currently provided by the project, including a Common Outline Framework and out-of-the-box integration with the Xtext editor, which ensures a tight feedback loop between Handly and its big adopter.
