Abstract-In the context of large versatile platform for embedded real time system on chip, a fine grained dynamically reconfigurable architecture could be used as one possible computational resource. In order to manage efficiently this resource we need a specific OS kernel able to manage such a hardware adaptable architecture. Both the history of micro-processor based system and our previous work based on currently available FPGA devices led us to think that not only an OS kernel must be defined to handle an FGDRA 1 but a FGDRA must also be designed to handle this OS kernel. This article relate our original work in this direction. OLLAF 2 , an original FGDRA core that we have designed will be presented. A comparison with other methods used today using commercially available FPGA is also presented concerning the particular preemption service.
In REF , the authors present a dynamically adaptable architecture that allows the inclusion of an OS kernel for management tasks.
