A Generic Model of Embedded System to Enable Dynamic Self- Reconfigurable Applications

چکیده
ASIPs and reconfigurable processors are architectural choices to extend the capabilities of a given processor. ASIPs suffers from fixed hardware after design, while ASIPs and reconfigurable processors suffer from the lack of a pre-established instruction set, making it difficult to program. An intermediate solution, reconfigurable coprocessors systems (RCSs), contains dedicated hardware (coprocessors) coupled to a standard processor core to accelerate specific tasks, being possible to insert or substitute hardware functionalities at execution time. This paper proposes a generic model for RCSs, targeted to reconfigurable devices with self-reconfiguration capabilities. A proof-of-concept case study, with performance and prototyped results, is also presented.

This paper investigates the requirements for simulation as a basis for architecture verification and validation in the development of self-configurable automotive embedded systems. One central characteristic of such systems is that the system configuration, in terms of functionalities, software and hardware components, as well as their properties and how they are related, varies dynamically acc...
متن کاملDynamic Hardware Development
Applications that leverage the dynamic partial reconfigurability of modern FPGAs are few, owing in large part to the lack of suitable tools and techniques to create them. While the trend in digital design is towards higher levels of design abstractions, forgoing hardware description languages in some cases for high-level languages, the development of a reconfigurable design requires developers ...
متن کاملAn FPGA Dynamically Reconfigurable Framework for Modular Robotics
Dynamic Reconfiguration has always constituted a challenge for embedded systems designers. Nowadays, technological developments make possible to do it on Xilinx FPGAs, but setting up a dynamically reconfigurable system remains a painful and complicated task. In this paper we propose a framework for performing it in an easy way, for a specific application: Modular Robotics. We propose an archite...
