All FPGAs share several design methodologies, yet each of them faces specific challenges. The anti-fuse FPGAs continue to be highly used in most electronic equipment for space, yet there are other technologies whose use in space has been growing: Flash-based and SRAM-based. The use of COTS FPGA has also increased, especially for space missions with shorter lifetimes and fewer quality constraints.
The aim of the workshop is to share experiences and wishes among FPGA designers, FPGA vendors, and research teams developing methodologies to address radiation mitigation techniques and reconfigurable systems.
The topics related to FPGAs for space are covering (not limited to):
- FPGA for Artificial Intelligence/ Machine Learning
- General design, verification, and test issues and good practices
- Performance achievements and potential problems
- Power consumption achievements and potential issues
- Design tools performance, good practices, and potential limitations
- Radiation mitigation techniques, tools, and potential limitations
- Trends of FPGA usage in space applications
- Partial/total in-flight reconfigurable systems
- Lessons learned: ensuring successful and safe use of FPGA in space applications
- Choosing the best FPGA type for our space application
- Export license limitations / changes / ITAR / EAR
- Package and assembly challenges
- Companion non-volatile memory (when required) experience
- HLS and MBD approaches used for HDL autocoding of flight designs
- Rad-hard IPs envisaged for the space segment, new releases, and roadmaps
The main FPGA vendors will present updates and will be available for questions. The detailed agenda will be published closer to the event. Presentations from the major design groups are expected.
Attendance to the workshop is free of charge.
Registration will open soon via this website.
The Call for Abstracts is now open.
