Abstract (EN): The elaboration of computational blocks using declarative models, typical of functional languages, allows the use of a parameterized template for the hardware design. This paper shows how such a template can be created, for the hardware implementation of computational blocks based on a declarative model, and how it can be used to provide design space exploration alternatives and hardware acceleration for Erlang based embedded systems. The template uses a flexible TCL preprocessor for the HDL generation and control of the design space alternatives.
