This paper demonstrates the use of a model driven design flow for Multiprocessor System on chips (MPSoCs) such as those dedicated to intensive signal processing applications. Due to the continuous exponential rise in SoC's design complexity, there is a critical need to find new seamless methodologies and tools to handle the SoC co-design aspects. This paper addresses this issue and proposes a novel SoC codesign methodology based on Model Driven Engineering (MDE) and the MARTE (Modeling and Analysis of Real-Time and Embedded Systems) standard proposed by OMG (Object Management Group), in order to raise the design abstraction levels. Extensions of this standard have enabled us to move from high level specifications to execution platforms such as reconfigurable FPGAs.
