This paper faces the problems connected to hardware software codesign partitioning phase. We propose a tool which novelties are the approach to perform the choice between hardware and software implementation. To achieve this, the tool proposed benefits from the simultaneous use of fuzzy logic and genetic algorithms, which allow the performance of single modules to be evaluated without having to actually implement them. Finally, we propose an algorithm to choose a good solution.
