Description

TASinI adopted MultiCore Processor in their On Board Computer since the first announced development of ESA NGMP in 2011 up to the release of first prototype of Quad-Core Leon4FT GR740 SoC in 2015. In this 11 years the IPAC, Integrated Processor and Aocs Controller, On Board Computer family has been developed covering a wide range of space applications; the development covered both Hardware and Software aspects covering several critical aspects induced by the use of such complex architecture. In the meantime, alternative solutions, based on different ISA, have become available, e.g. ARM, and other are coming into the limelight, e.g. RISC-V. This presentation addresses the experience matured in the last decade and the future perspectives from an industrial developer's point of view.
