Linux on FPGA Platforms

چکیده
Accessing custom hardware peripherals from a soft-CPU realized on FPGA fabric is a common task. We use a Virtex-5 FPGA with a MicroBlaze soft-CPU running a standard Linux kernel as the core of our embedded system. In order to enable processes on the Linux system to communicate with custom peripherals on the FPGA a device driver is implemented to take advantage of the fast simplex link (FSL) bus and the resulting performance regarding throughput and latency is measured.

متن کاملSelf authentication path insertion in FPGA-based design flow for tamper-resistant purpose
FPGA platforms have been widely used in many modern digital applications due to their low prototyping cost, short time-to-market and flexibility. Field-programmability of FPGA bitstream has made it as a flexible and easy-to-use platform. However, access to bitstream degraded the security of FPGA IPs because there is no efficient method to authenticate the originality of bitstream by the FPGA pr...
