heal.abstract	Advances in IC fabrication technology have made the design of complex and powerful embedded appliances feasible. To design such appliances, a hardware/software co-design methodology, which allows concurrent hardware and software development before a system prototype is available, is the preferred solution. While different hardware and software specification techniques present obstacles that each combined approach has to overcome, the introduction of SystemC, a C++ class library for hardware and system level specification, has opened a new horizon. This paper combines open source components, to built a custom and flexible co-simulation environment based on SystemC. Even though commercial solutions for this problem have recently been introduced, their high cost and small to medium scale customization capability, make this open source and fully customizable competitor look appealing, especially for researchers and small companies.	en
