Dynamically Reconfigurable Embedded Virtual Instrument

As virtual instruments application used widely in the embedded field, there is an increasing need for researching of design method for reconfigurable embedded virtual instrument (EVI). This paper presents a method that use dynamic reconfigurable intellectual property (IP) as the basic modules, implement the hardware reconfiguration of EVI by dynamically replaced those IP which components of the EVI system in read time. Embedded virtual instrument middleware (EVIM) is designed to implement the software reconfiguration of EVI by configure the driver Engine. The advantage of reconfigurable system is that it can change the system architecture in real-time based on different application requirements to match with specific condition.
