Abstract :
Increasingly embedded devices are turning to two technologies to achieve high performance and enable efficient programmability as well as product usability. The first is multi-core processing on FPGA devices in which the multi-core architecture allows software to map application-level parallelism to inherent parallel fabric to offer better performance, the re-configurability leads to flexible and adaptive designs. The second is wireless communications that allow sensors to be distributed flexibly across a structure for example in the case of a body area network. This paper describes the ongoing design of a multi RF channel, multi-core embedded design which will be used as a generic FPGA solution to meet the requirements of both e-health applications as well as robotics applications.
