Περίληψη | During recent years much research focused on making Partial Reconfiguration (PR)
more widespread. The FASTER project aimed at realizing an integrated toolchain
that assists the designer in the steps of the design flow that are necessary to port a
given application onto an FPGA device. The novelty of the framework lies in the
use of partial dynamic reconfiguration seen as a first class citizen throughout the
entire design flow in order to exploit FPGA device potential.
The STMicroelectronics SPEAr development platform combines an ARM processor
alongside with a Virtex-5 FPGA daughter-board. While partial reconfiguration
in the attached board was considered as feasible from the beginning, there was
no full implementation of a hardware architecture using PR. This work describes
our efforts to exploit PR on the SPEAr prototyping embedded platform. The paper
discusses the implemented architecture, as well as the integration of Run-Time
System Manager for scheduling (run-time reconfiogurable) hardware and software
tasks. We also propose improvements that can be exploited in order to make the PR
utility more easy-to-use on future projects on the SPEAr platform. | en |
