چکیده
In this paper, we present an architecture for demonstrating a dynamically reconfigurable system suitable for prototyping the possibilities that dynamic reconfiguration makes available. The developed platform utilizes a novel FPGA architecture in a way where dynamic reconfiguration can be prototyped with various methods and in a wide range of applications. In addition to the highly flexible dynamic reconfiguration, the presented platform includes extensive I/O capacity, the ability to work stand-alone or in PCI bus, a sufficient amount of memory, and a highly flexible clocking scheme.

During recent years much research focused on making Partial Reconfiguration (PR) more widespread. The FASTER project aimed at realizing an integrated toolchain that assists the designer in the steps of the design flow that are necessary to port a given application onto an FPGA device. The novelty of the framework lies in the use of partial dynamic reconfiguration seen as a first class citizen t...
متن کاملLeveraging dynamic reconfiguration to increase fault-tolerance in FPGA-based satellite systems
Performance requirements for on-board processing of satellite instrument data are steadily increasing. This demonstrator shows how today’s SoCs for satellite payload processing can be extended with high-speed interfaces and computing power utilizing commercial dynamically reconfigurable FPGAs. Reconfigurable hardware further allows for changing or adapting payload processing during the flight m...
متن کاملInfluence Control for Dynamic Reconfiguration of Data Flow Systems
Influence control is a very challenging issue in dynamic reconfiguration and still not well addressed in the literature. This paper argues that dynamic reconfiguration influences system execution in four ways: functional update, functional side-effect, logical influence on performance and physical influence on performance. Methods including version control, transaction tracing, switching reconf...

We present the XF-BOARD, a prototyping platform for reconfigurable hardware operating system research. The platform is based on two tightly coupled FPGAs. One FPGA implements a soft CPU core that controls the overall system; the second FPGA is used as dynamically reconfigurable hardware resource. The main features of the prototyping platform are fast partial reconfiguration and readback, advanc...
