Abstract :
Nowadays embedded systems are increasingly used in industrial applications. On the other hand, Intellectual Properties ldquoIPsrdquo are being used in complex roles in such systems. The purpose of this paper is to present the basic ideas behind the building of an IP-based safety-related 1oo2 architecture on FPGA platform. In the first part the complete design of a simple IP-based 8 bit RISC processor and a system on-chip (SoC) design in synthesizable VHDL on FPGA-platform is presented and the safety parameters for the 1oo2 (one out of two) architecture are given. In the second part of the paper, the implementation of the single and of the 1oo2 communication architecture and some results such as a running application are shown.
