PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hardware description language synthesis tool capable of automatically forming a hardware design file described in a hardware description language from a program described in a higher-level language such as C language, and a design method using the tool for an integrated circuit. SOLUTION: The hardware description language synthesis tool includes a hardware file describing a hardware component excluding a program memory, program code and the like of a microprocessor in the hardware description language, and an assembly level synthesis language which analyzes an assembly level language program obtained by compiling a high-level language program to associate instruction code thereof with the hardware component, and converts the instruction code into a software file described in the hardware description language. In addition, the tool outputs the hardware file and the software file as hardware design files. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
