Embedded systems applications that are either mission or
safety-critical usually entail low- to mid- production volumes,
require the rapid development of specific tasks, which are
typically computing intensive, and are cost bounded. The adoption
of re-configurable FPGAs in such application domains is constrained
to the availability of suitable techniques to guarantee the
dependability requirements entailed by critical applications. This
book describes the challenges faced by designers when implementing
a mission- or safety-critical application using re-configurable
FPGAs and it details various techniques to overcome these
challenges. In addition to an overview of the key concepts of
re-configurable FPGAs, it provides a theoretical description of the
failure modes that can cause incorrect operation of re-configurable
FPGA-based electronic systems. It also outlines analysis techniques
that can be used to forecast such failures and covers the theory
behind solutions to mitigate fault effects. This book also reviews
current technologies available for building re-configurable FPGAs,
specifically SRAM-based technology and Flash-based technology. For
each technology introduced, theoretical concepts presented are
applied to real cases. Design techniques and tools are presented to
develop critical applications using commercial, off-the-shelf
devices, such as Xilinx Virtex FPGAs, and Actel ProASIC FPGAs.
Alternative techniques based on radiation hardened FPGAs, such as
Xilinx SIRF and Atmel ATF280 are also presented. This publication
is an invaluable reference for anyone interested in understanding
the technologies of re-configurable FPGAs, as well as designers
developing critical applications based on these technologies.
