Hardware-Software Monitoring Techniques for Dynamic Partial Reconfigurable Embedded Systems

摘要

Dynamic partial reconfigurable embedded system includes at least one reconfigurable device,which is emerging as the new paradigm for satisfying the simultaneous demand for application performance and flexibility. But it brings difficulties in debugging,testing and performance measurement at the same time.Monitoring is an effective approach in debugging,testing and performance measurement in such complex systems. Dynamical partial reconfigurable monitor module based on the reconfigurablity of the hardware platform and the implement methods were proposed in this paper,which decrease the chip's area consumption and reconfiguration time cost. The experiments about hardware-software monitoring approach showed expected results.
