Abstract :
This paper presents a PCI-Express based platform for the analysis and evaluation of designs that combines Triple Modular Redundancy and Dynamic Reconfiguration to provide Fault Tolerance and Self-repairing capabilities. The paper presents the general architecture of the platform and exemplifies its functionality with the implementation of a Self-Repairing CAN Gateway.
