Running Linux on a Xilinx XUP Board

A tutorial for booting a fully functional operating system based on the Linux 2.4 kernel on a Xilinx University Program Virtex II-Pro based development board is presented. Furthermore, this paper describes a reconfigurable hardware accelerator that can be accessed directly by applications or via a character device driver. To exploit...

The power of open spectrum

When the history of this era is written, it will be seen that one of the biggest bi-partisan mistakes was to treat spectrum as property rather than a commons. Billions have been earned off the spectrum, first by the government, then by those who won the auctions. But...

FPGA-Based Design of a Pulsed-OFDM System

An enhancement to the Multi-Band Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (MB-OFDM) system, known as Pulsed-OFDM, has been proposed to reduce the complexity and power consumption of the transceiver without sacrificing performance. This paper describes the detailed FPGA implementation of a complete Pulsed-OFDM transceiver. The resource requirements are given for each of...

FPGA-Based CDMA Switch for Networks-on-Chip

This paper presents timing and area results for an FPGA implementation of a CDMA-based switch for networks-on-chip. The design was mapped onto the Xilinx Virtex4 XC4VLX200 device using Synplify Pro for a range of payload sizes. The synthesis results give the area and maximum frequency obtained. Simulation verifies the desired...

An FPGA Dynamically Reconfigurable Framework for Modular Robotics

Dynamic Reconfiguration has always constituted a challenge for embedded systems designers. Nowadays, technological developments make possible to do it on Xilinx FPGAs, but setting up a dynamically reconfigurable system remains a painful and complicated task. This paper proposes a framework for performing it in an easy way, for a specific...
