Author :
Portolan, Michele ; Leveugle, Régis
Abstract :
We present a hardened RTL processor core based on LEON. Modifications are done at RT-Ievel to achieve high configurability in an early stage of the development process. The main parts of the processor core can be protected against single event upsets and single event transients. Results and tradeoffs are presented and discussed.
