C\C++ to VHDL Converter

[a***@gmail.com]

Hi all VHDL experts,
Is there any tools which can convert a C\C++ source file to VHDL . For
example If I have a C source code for a MP3 decoder , Can any tool can
convert it into VHDL equivalent. There is some facility in FPGA Advantage to
generate a wrapper VHDL for a C File , what exactly is that ? Does that
mean I can synthesize a C\C++ file by creating a VHDL Wrapper.
Please help

Take a look at Handel-C. All you have to do is to rewrite couple of statements so that Handel-C compiles and generates VHDL, Verilog, EDIF, and SystemC for you. Use Mentor Graphic DK Design Suite 5.

Why not to have a look at Vivado HLS? Altera also has something, that will
be available soon.
