With increasing demands on the computing power of future missions, it is essential that available resources are used efficiently, which can be achieved through greater flexibility, i.e., total or partial in-orbit reconfiguration of FPGAs. This work proposes a generic solution to safely reconfigure FPGAs from different manufacturers and technologies (Flash, SRAM) in space, including a generic...
With the Fraunhofer On-Board Processor (FOBP), we created a fully in-orbit reconfigurable FPGA experimentation platform in geostationary orbit which will launch in 2023 as part of the Heinrich Hertz satellite mission.
It provides digital signal processing for satellite communication for up to 450 MHz bandwidth and is flexibly programmable from ground.
Reconfiguring the two Virtex-5QV FPGAs...
The talk will present the use of eFPGA for supporting application-specific, user-defined instructions in LEON2-FT. The work extends the SIMD-Within-a-Register (SWAR) concept, developed by daiteq for LEON2-FT and NOEL-V, with the aim to improve performance for applications such as GNSS or image processing where more data values can be stored next to each other in one processor register and...
