Description
Fault injection is a promising technique for predicting the SEU Architectural Vulnerability Factor (AVF) of digital designs for space applications. Unfortunately, learning and using fault injection emulation tools needs a time and effort investment that may discourage development teams from applying the technique. Furthermore, there is an understandable concern in the design community about when and by how much the technique is accurate, with respect to the real AVF values that would be obtained in a radiation test.
The FT-Unshades2 fault injection platform aims to mitigate these issues so fault injection can be efficiently used, in the early stages of a design effort, to predict and mitigate SEU-induced effects on digital designs.
Updates on the FT-Unshades2 fault injection platform will be presented, with also the typical workflow provided by its Graphical User Interface. Experiences on using the platform on real designs for space applications and how to extract the most relevant information from them will be presented. Finally, version 4 of the platform, which will support the new European Space-Grade FPGA, NG-MEDIUM, will be presented.
