Description:

The target of this project is the design and prototyping of a development board and the characterization of applications that will be implemented in a RAM based FPGA, together with a set of methods that will allow realize HW reconfiguration of the FPGA partially and/or totally and dynamically, and simultaneously remotely and autonomously.

Acording to the requirements of Thales, the boards should allow to evaluate:

Según los requisitos iniciales propuestos por la empresa Thales, las placas deben permitir evaluar:

  • Capacity of the FPGA regarding to used resources
  • To measure parameters and performance of the system like frequency
  • To measure the starting, normal working and reconfiguration power consumption
