An Innovative Reconfigurable Platform for Embedded System Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a new general purpose reconfigurable technology platform for embedded system design called Kress ALU Array III (KrAA-III), which is a novel field programmable ALU array (FPAA). FPAAs can be structurally programmed to resemble a complex operator used by an application, providing high computation power by massive pipelining. While embedded accelerator design with traditional FPGAs is very similar to sophisticated ASIC-design due to the bit-level of FPGAs, the KrAA-III features 32 bit wide datapaths, enabling rapid design using high-level languages. In this paper, the underlying concepts and the hardware of the KrAA-III are presented.

The Egret platform for reconfigurable system on chip
Embedded systems are an appealing application domain for reconfigurable System-on-Chip (rSoC) technology. However, rSoC design is inherently a complex task with enormous freedom in design parameters such as processor, operating system, and backplane buses. Design efficiency can potentially be improved by the use of an rSoC platform which constrains these choices, and allows new designs to lever...

متن کاملEmbedded Linux as a Platform for Dynamically Self-Reconfiguring Systems-on-Chip
We have previously argued the benefits of embedded Linux as an operating system platform for reconfigurable system-on-chip design. In this paper we describe our approach building tools for the implementation of dynamically and self-reconfigurable systems, and show that embedded Linux is a natural and powerful platform on which to build these tools. We present examples and demonstrations that sh...
متن کاملEmbedded Application Prototyping on a Communication-Restricted Reconfigurable
As the complexity of SoC is increasing, prototyping becomes more and more suitable than simulation to validate the design. Reconfigurable platform is the solution to attain this prototyping in realistic cost and time. Unfortunately, most of the reconfigurable platforms have fixed communication network. This property becomes a restriction to implement the nowadays applications which have very co...
متن کاملDesign and Verification of a Software Defined radio platform using Modelsim and Altera FPGA
: The Altera Cyclone family of FPGA provides the ability to perform run time reconfiguration which is known as Dynamic Reconfiguration. Current technology allows designers to implement complete embedded computing systems on a single FPGA. Using an FPGA as the implementation platform introduces greater flexibility into the design process and allows a new approach to embedded system design. Since...
