The paper presents an approach to design, which combines Handel-C, VHDL and C++ languages. Engineers can take advantages of Handel-C language, which covers a gap between popular high level language, like C++ and low level hardware description languages, like VHDL or Verilog. This approach makes design processes more efficient and faster. The design flow is explained based on error diffusion algorithm. To verify the method, the Celoxica RC-1000 card, with Xilinx XCV1000-6 FPGA, was chosen as a hardware target platform.
