FPGA systems have been widely adopted in
signal processing systems. The latest FPGA technology has seen
coupling of ARM processors and FPGAs on a single
System-on-Chip (SOC) architecture. In this paradigm, new
processing options are available: Linux with logic
co-processors, Linux with additional bare metal OS with logic,
Linux based signal processing system nodes for distributed
sensors, etc.
Our group works with different types of remote sensing radars
and SOCs running Linux would be a valuable tool for digital
backend systems. We would like to find a student interested in
creating Linux applications that will connect to high speed
busses coupling the ARM and FPGA on the SOC.
