Abstract
This paper presents a new platform for development of small application-specific digital embedded architectures based on a data path controlled by a microprogram. Linear genetic programming is extended to evolve a program for the controller together with suitable hardware architecture. Experimental results show that the platform can automatically design general solutions as well as highly optimized specialized solutions to benchmark problems such as maximum, parity or iterative division.
