Estudio de un kit de diseño mixto con Softcore Microblaze e IP's, para el control ESP, ASR y ABS

Este proyecto consiste en el estudio de una placa de prototipado mixta analógico-digital formada principalmente por un PSoC, una FPGA y memoria flash para determinar sus capacidades en sistemas de control ESP, ASR y ABS. El estudio se basa en concluir la lógica que se puede añadir al dispositivo para enfocarlo a unas aplicaciones que, a pesar de ser muy comunes en coches, está poco desarrollado en motocicletas y ciclomotores. Es por ello surge el interés de diseñar un sistema del más bajo coste posible para impulsar su desarrollo.

Prototipado de sistemas multiprocesador en FPGA

Los procesadores tradicionales de un solo núcleo han tenido que enfrentarse a grandes desafíos para poder mejorar su rendimiento y eficiencia energética. Mientras tanto, el rápido avance de las tecnologías de fabricación ha permitido la implementación de varios procesadores en un solo chip, ofreciendo un alto rendimiento y eficiencia energética. Éstos son los llamados procesadores multinúcleo. El objetivo de este proyecto es realizar un sistema multiprocesador para el procesamiento digital de señales de radio. Este sistema multiprocesador puede ser implementado en una tarjeta de prototipado. Para ello se ha utilizado el softcore MB-Lite y el sistema operativo en tiempo real FreeRTOS. ABSTRACT. Traditional single-core processors have faced great challenges to improve their performance and energy efficiency. Meanwhile, rapid advancing fabrication technologies have enabled the implementation of several processors in a single chip, providing high performance and energy efficiency. These are called multi-core processors. The aim of this project is to perform a multiprocessor system for digital radio signal processing. This multiprocessor system can be implemented in a general purpose prototyping card using. To achieve this project, the MB-Lite softcore and the FreeRTOS real time operating system have been used.

FPGA-based soft-core processors for image processing applications

With security and surveillance, there is an increasing need to process image data efficiently and effectively either at source or in a large data network. Whilst a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) has been seen as a key technology for enabling this, the design process has been viewed as problematic in terms of the time and effort needed for implementation and verification. The work here proposes a different approach of using optimized FPGA-based soft-core processors which allows the user to exploit the task and data level parallelism to achieve the quality of dedicated FPGA implementations whilst reducing design time. The paper also reports some preliminary
progress on the design flow to program the structure. An implementation for a Histogram of Gradients algorithm is also reported which shows that a performance of 328 fps can be achieved with this design approach, whilst avoiding the long design time, verification and debugging steps associated with conventional FPGA implementations.
