Abstract :
We present a new concept as well as the implementation of an FPGA based reconfigurable platform, the Erlangen slot machine (ESM). One main advantage of this platform is the possibility for each module to access its periphery independent from its location through a programmable crossbar, allowing an unrestricted relocation of modules on the device. Furthermore, we propose different intermodule communication structures.
