Run Time Dynamic Partial Reconfiguration Using Microblaze Soft Core Processor for Dsp Applications

چکیده
DSP Application requires a fast computations & flexibility of the design. Partial Reconfiguration (PR) is an advanced technique, which improves the flexibility of FPGAs by allowing portions of a design to be reconfigured at runtime by overwriting parts of the configuration memory. In this paper we are using microblaze soft core processor & ICAP Port to reconfigure the FPGA at runtime. ICAP is accessed through a light-weight custom IP which requires bit stream length, go, and done signal to interface to a system that provides partial bit stream data. The partial bit stream is provided by the processor system by reading the partial bit files from the compact flash card. Our targeted DSP application is matrix multiplication; we are reconfiguring design by changing partial modules at run time. To change the partial bit stream we interfaces a microblaze Soft processor & using a UART interface.ISE13.1 & PlanAhead is used for partial reconfiguration of FPGA .EDK is used for microblaze soft processor design & ICAP Interface .The simulation is done using Chip Scope Logic Analyzer & the complete hardware implementation is done on Xilinx VIRTEX -6 ML605 Platform.

Dynamic Partial Self-Reconfiguration on Spartan-III FPGAs via a Parallel Configuration Access Port (PCAP)
This paper presents an alternative approach for dynamic partial self-reconfiguration that enables a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) to reconfigure itself dynamically and partially through a parallel configuration access port (PCAP) under the control of the stand alone PCAP core within the FPGA instead of using an embedded processor. The reconfiguration process is accomplished without an in...

متن کاملInternal dynamic partial reconfiguration for real time signal processing on FPGA
Few FPGAs support creation of partially reconfigurable systems when compared to traditional systems based on total reconfiguration. This allows dynamic change of the functionalities hosted on the device when needed and while the rest of the system continues its working. Runtime partial reconfiguration of FPGA is an attractive feature which offers countless benefits across multiple industries. X...
متن کاملUltra-Low-Energy DSP Processor Design for Many-Core Parallel Applications
Background and Objectives: Digital signal processors are widely used in energy constrained applications in which battery lifetime is a critical concern. Accordingly, designing ultra-low-energy processors is a major concern. In this work and in the first step, we propose a sub-threshold DSP processor. Methods: As our baseline architecture, we use a modified version of an existing ultra-low-power...
متن کاملRSA Cryptography using Designed Processor and MicroBlaze Soft Processor in FPGAs
Some applications such as RSA encryption/decryption need integer arithmetic operations with many bits. However, such operations cannot be performed directly by conventional CPUs, because their instruction supports integers with fixed bits, say, 64 bits. Since the CPUs need to repeat arithmetic operations to numbers with fixed bits, they have considerably overhead to execute applications involvi...
