Description
In this presentation the use of Open Standards Based Modules to accelerate the development cycle of Space Applications using AMD Versal devices will be discussed. The presentation starts with a success story: a currently in-orbit hyperspectral sensor on a now extended mission on the ISS (International Space Station), based on SpaceVPX and AMD Zynq7 technology. Following this, future steps will be explored, with a description of the latest developments based around AMD Versal hardware. Several applications have been prototyped including Laser Spectroscopy, AI-based anomaly detection and a 1-million-point FFT implementation. Details of these 3 applications will be presented. Deployment options, and the rapid development cycle that using standard modules allows, will be explored through two hardware platforms, now available off the shelf from Alpha Data. These also follow the SpaceVPX standard and are suitable for development and prototyping Versal solutions for orbit, using solutions designed to take components with an appropriate radiation tolerance. To conclude, the application requirements of next generation hyperspectral sensor processing will be explored alongside the suitability of these platforms for rapidly deliver the increased performance required.
