Abstract

This work describes the design and implementation of a tool to automatically translate
data structure descriptions, extracted from debug information embedded into object
files, into hardware description languages. Existing proven technologies like DWARF
and VHDL are used in novel ways, thereby tackling certain challenges in the overall
context of improving non-functional properties of operating systems through the use of
FPGAs. Various aspects of the usage environment, the inner workings and of further
possible uses are discussed in detail. Also described are current and possible extensions
to other output formats and languages and potential problems during use.
