Description
From first generation of antifuse FPGAs more than 20 years ago to last generation of Xilinx Versal, FPGA technologies have always been in the DNA of Airbus digital equipment. Beyond being just a "user" of these FPGA technologies, Airbus is also a major contributor of the NG-Ultra product development offering to Europe a key rad-hard FPGA with an embedded System-on-Chip.
What can be noticed is that FPGA size, features and complexity have considerably increased during these 20 years, leading to the need to coordinate full FPGA design teams, and to carefully prepare the introduction of any new FPGA technology from its selection & evaluation to its qualification.
Based on Airbus strong heritage in this domain all along these 20 years, an overview of topics around FPGA development considered by Airbus as key topics will be exposed. This will be an opportunity to present our feedbacks on FPGA technologies but also on FPGA development process.
