Abstract :
The objective of this paper is to present the RHINO ARM API Cluster Control System (RAACMS) that will enable a user to access and control networked Reconfigurable Hardware Interface for computing and radio (RHINO) platforms. The framework is designed to run on a reconfigurable platforms consisting of FPGA and an ARM processor connected in a cluster. This system is built around a client-server design, and includes an API on the ARM and control PC, that enables users to execute their code on the control PC and control and change variables on a cluster of RHINO platforms. This paper will present the design and implementation of the RAACMS on the cluster of RHINOs at the University of Cape Town. Tests are performed on a prototype version of the framework. The conclusions discuss uses of the systems, together with further plans for improving the framework.
