Hardware facilities
Many Gaisler HW boards are used in TEC-SWT - including, but not limited, to...
HW boards with Leon-based CPUs
- GR-RASTA AT697E
- GR712RC
- GR-CPCI-LEON4-N2X
- GR-CPCI-GR740
Development platforms like the GR-RASTA racks are also used to host many of these boards.
FPGA-based boards
Custom HW designs are loaded in boards like the GR-CPCI-XC4V, which allow us to test custom CPUs with special instructions, or custom cache-policies, etc.
Cabling
- Serial cables used for debugging/monitoring
- JTAG to directly control our boards
- USB/relay gateways
- SpaceWire cables
- 1553 cables
- etc
Custom devices
The set of HW devices we use also includes some custom components - e.g.
- the SpW brick used to assist SpaceWire debugging
- the Rapita tester allowing us to perform cycle-accurate execution timings
- etc
