Title
Handling FPGA Faults and Configuration Sequencing Using a Hardware Extension
Abstract
Run-time reconfiguration (RTR) applied to field-programmable logic allows for fast reconfiguration of parts of a user circuit in the presense of faults in the underlying programmable logic. The regular structure of field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and the independence of the implemented system from the programmable hardware are the basis for a reasonable small implementation of a fault tolerance concept in hardware. In this paper we describe a hardware structure called reconfiguration control unit (RCU) which realizes a reconfiguration controller. Exchanging configurations is a frequent task in RTR applications, usually left to a host computer system. Applying the RCU to such tasks, a host system becomes obsolete and the time needed for reconfiguration can be minimized.
