Abstract:
A method to improve the reliability of a function using reconfigurable hardware device for providing a reliable output signal, said device comprising a pre-defined reconfigurable area having at least three separate function blocks each with an input and an output, which function blocks are each arranged to provide a same function to a signal provided to a corresponding input thereof, an output block connected to each of said outputs of said function blocks, wherein said output block is arranged to provide a single reliable output signal based on signals received from said function blocks, a detection manager arranged for detecting, in real-time or quasi real-time, an error in any of said functions of said function blocks, thereby identifying a faulty operating function block, by detecting that said signals from function blocks are not the same, a reconfiguration manager arranged for reconfiguring an identified faulty operating function block with said same function, wherein said reconfiguring being physically altering reconfigurable hardware device resources by programming said reconfigurable hardware device, and a verification manager arranged for verifying said function of said reconfigured function block.

Claim (Index 6):
A method for providing a reliable output signal according to  claim 5 , wherein said step of detecting further comprises:\n providing, by said detection manager, a known test sequence to a function block of said at least three function blocks which provides an output deviating from a majority output of said at least three function blocks, and detecting, by said detection manager, an error in said function of said function block provided with said known test sequence, by comparing said output of said function block provided with said known test sequence, with an expected output signal.
