On-demand FPGA run-time system for flexible and dynamical reconfiguration
Michael Ullmann, Michael Hübner, Jürgen Becker · International Journal of Embedded Systems · 2005
As the number of built in microcontroller-; and ASIC-based automotive control devices grows, it will become an increasing problem for the most automobile manufacturers since communication, power consumption, available space and cost become important issues for a growing number of engine control units needed for future automotive applications. This contribution presents a first approach for a flexible versatile FPGA-based run-time system supporting a resource saving function-multiplex which can be a possible solution for the arising problems as mentioned above.
