Runtime Reconfigurable MPSoC architecture for control drive system

Abstract

In this paper, an overview of reconfigurability is presented with some design recommendations. Besides, a design flow of a Reconfigurable System on Chip (RSoC) is studied for an application case: the implementation of two different controllers on Multiprocessor SoC (MPSoC) architecture using the FPGA Virtex-II Pro. A runtime partial reconfiguration is adopted to switch between them. A predictive internal state definition allows a soft commutation between controllers. Experimental results confirm the adopted approach efficiency and give satisfying performance.
