Abstract :
This paper presents a reconfigurable architecture that is specifically tailored for the autonomous realization of the Boeing/JPL gyroscope and its interface circuitry. The overall architecture consists of a reconfigurable hardware substrate that suits the implementation of transposed form FIR filters and a custom non-stochastic search algorithm, which is in charge of autonomously providing the best binary configuration on the adaptive hardware. Preliminary simulation results show that our architecture is able to cope with single hard errors that occur on the reconfigurable substrate, while power analysis demonstrates that the proposed methodology is capable of implementing filters that consume almost 4.5 times less power, compared with industrial application specific reconfigurable fabrics
