Abstract

This paper presents a solution to safely and efficiently manage configurations of dynamically reconfigurable system on chip. We first define our unified RTOS-based framework for HW/SW task communication and configuration management. Then three issues are discussed and solutions given: the formalization of configuration space modeling including its different dimensions, the synchronization of configuration that mainly addresses the issue of task configuration ordering and the configuration coherency that solve the control the way a task accepts a new configuration. Finally we present the global method and give some implementation figures from a smart camera case study.
