Reconfigurable distributed systems based on FPGAs and fieldbuses
José Fonseca, Arnaldo S. R. Oliveira · 2005
Today, distributed systems based on a set of processor-based nodes are pervasive in many applications such as acquisition systems or embedded systems. The communication is often based in a fieldbus network which enables also functionalities such as program download and node synchronization. The use of FPGAs, replacing processors is appealing, providing remote reconfiguration through the fieldbus is possible. This paper describes a solution for this requirement.
