Easing the integration headaches of FPGAs into heterogeneous embedded systems
Military systems integrators are increasingly turning to FPGAs and serial switched fabrics for their systems.
While these technologies are powerful, they introduce new challenges that commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) board vendors need to address.
Out-of-band control, plus embedded debugging can ease FPGA design issues.

FPGAs evolve to meet changing computing needs
Reconfigurability – the ability to change a system's functionality after it has been deployed – not only helps designers react to last-minute design changes but also enables them to prototype ideas before implementation and upgrade designs in the field.
In today's environment of rapid change, this capability offers a tremendous competitive advantage and often gets more computation done for each watt of system power.

FPGAs increase machine vision systems' performance
Higher-resolution cameras and faster frame rates are pushing data rates beyond many host PCs' processing capabilities.
Kumara describes how acceleration hardware at the right place in the system can make up the shortfall and explains why using FPGAs is the most cost-effective approach to attain the needed performance.

FPGAs with built-in AES: The key to secure system designs
Embedded systems can easily fall prey to hackers, security breaches, and malicious attacks unless effective security is incorporated into the system design.
Security is an even greater issue today because new, proprietary technologies and valuable IP are used as competitive barriers.
Up until now, the technology for implementing conventional security has been cumbersome, outdated, and costly.
However, current trends are encouraging designers t...
