With the increasing complexity and functionality of Real-Time embedded applications, Multiprocessor System-on-chip “MPSoC” offers the best tradeoffs in computation performances and power consumption. Designing MPSoC projects is time consuming and, often requires several competences and steps, spanning from hardware architecture to mapping application on the platform. This paper presents MPSoCDK, an integrated framework for rapid prototyping and validating MPSoC projects targeting FPGA devices. This platform, which includes several environments and toolchains, allows the designer to shorten the process of designing and exploring MPSoC projects, by simplifying the creation, the validation and the exploration of components in the MPSoC platform. Results show that the proposed framework can efficiently speedup the process of exploring, generating and programming multiprocessor platforms using a Graphical User Interface (GUI).
