3. 32004 MAPLD/116Perkins and Riley Background and Objectives Background Aircraft store integration complexity is a primary cost driver in the deployment of new munitions Reconfigurable computing provides a potential mitigation method for store integration complexity Program Scope/Objectives Investigate use of FPGAs as a reconfigurable architecture to mitigate store integration complexity Provide a demonstration of this capability

4. 42004 MAPLD/116Perkins and Riley GMIP Design Requirements MMSI & 1553 Intefaces Self reconfigurability Up to 8 independent FPGA loads Nonvolatile storage Fast large RAM storage for data intensive operations (DDR DRAM) Fast small RAM storage for simple interfacing (ZBT SRAM) External interfaces for expandability High current power supply for typical applications (6A @ 3.3V and 5V) Debug interface for development purposes PCI interface for development purposes

5. 52004 MAPLD/116Perkins and Riley GMIP Component Design Details FPGA Selection Virtex II Pro 50 FPGA selected based on evaluation of potential GMIP applications. Virtex II Pro 50 Specs – 23,616 Slices – 232 Multiplier Blocks – 232 18-KBit SelectRAM Blocks – 8 Digital Clock Managers – 852 IO Pads – 2 PowerPC Hard-Cores

6. 62004 MAPLD/116Perkins and Riley GMIP Component Design Details Memory Selection – 128 MB DDR SDRAM selected based on the need for a large amount of fast, low cost memory storage – 18 Mb ZBT SRAM selected based on the need for a small, fast, low latency and low cost memory storage that provides a simple interface implementation. ZBT SRAM is used specifically by the Condor 1553/MMSI Cores – 16 MB Flash Memory selected based on the expected need to store and recall data between missions and FPGA context switches System ACE MPM Selection – Provides an integrated solution for FPGA configuration/reconfiguration. MPM contains a Flash Memory for target FPGA bitstream storage, an FPGA for configuration/reconfiguration control and a PROM for the FPGA controller boot-up configuration – Stores up to 8 FPGA designs that may be loaded at any time during the mission. – Provides a simple interface for “self reconfiguration”
