Dynamically Reconfigurable Implementation of Control Circuits
نویسندگان
چکیده
Control Circuits can be described using a top-down approach with the aid of Hierarchical Graph-Schemes (HGSs). The implementation of HGSs in a finegrain FPGA has been done using a Hierarchical Finite State Machine structure where each sub-algorithm implementation is independent from the others. Static and dynamically reconfigurable implementations using the XC6200 FPGA have been obtained by applying a number of commercial design tools together with tools developed by the authors.

Reconfigurable models of finite state machines and their implementation in FPGAs
This paper examines some models of FSMs that can be implemented in dynamically and statically reconfigurable FPGAs. They enable circuits for the FSMs to be constructed in such a way that allows their behavior to be modified before and during run-time. This is achieved either by swapping preallocated areas on a chip in partially dynamically reconfigurable FPGAs, or by reloading memory-based cell...
متن کاملVerification of Dynamically Reconfigurable Logic
Conventional FPGA design assumes a one-to-one mapping between circuits and device resources. In contrast, dynamically reconfigurable designs map many circuits to shared device resources. Each many-to-one mapping can be decomposed into sequences of temporal, one-to-one mappings. The verification of dynamically reconfigurable logic is complicated by the need to verify that each constituent mappin...

متن کاملFail-safe ECU System Using Dynamic Reconfiguration of FPGA
ECUs ( Electronic Control Units ) are embedded controllers in automobiles. The number of ECUs in each automobile is increasing and their functions are becoming more complex in order to meet environmental requirements and satisfy market needs. It is important to make these ECUs reliable for the sake of customer safety. Since space and cost reduction are high priorities for automobile application...
متن کاملDebugging Techniques for Dynamically Reconfigurable Hardware
Testing dynamically reconfigurable systems imposes new challenges which require special treatment. We present tools and techniques we developed for debugging a dynamically reconfigurable system that performs run-time constant propagation optimisations. An application for monitoring the effect of run-time specialisation is presented and we show how we adapted standard testability techniques to e...
