Implementation of a Dynamically Reconfigurable Processing Module for SpaceWire Networks.

Abstract

Dittmann F, Linke M, Hagemeyer J, et al. Implementation of a Dynamically Reconfigurable Processing Module for SpaceWire Networks. In: Proceedings of the International SpaceWire Conference 2010. 2010: 193-196.The ESA-project "FPGA based generic module and dynamic reconfigurator" targets the development of a hardware architecture, called DRPM (for Dynamically Reconfigurable Processing Module). The goal of the DRPM is to develop a system that allows for the adaptation of hardware components in flight at run-time. This is enabled by the implementation of an SRAM-FPGA-based partially reconfigurable core, which is embedded into a system hosting a reconfiguration controller and a system controller providing suitable interfaces for space applications. Maximum flexibility is realized by implementing SpaceWire interfaces that enable the DRPM integration into a SpaceWire network. Moreover, the SpaceWire RMAP protocol is used for remote access to registers and memory banks of the DRPM
