Abstract :
We propose a new methodology for hardware/software co-design of embedded systems which is specifically aimed to mitigate SET effects. A hardening infrastructure is used to generate different versions of the design using several combinations of hardware and software hardening which are evaluated with respect to SET effects. The advantages of the proposed approach are demonstrated by means of a case study.
