Abstract

This paper describes the realisation of a dynamic hardware capability within a Texas Instruments TMS320C40 parallel processing environment. To conduct this task a custom designed Xilinx XC6200 FPGA family development system has been constructed. This has facilitated the development of dynamic coprocessor and routing hub hardware within the DSP architecture. This run-time reconfigurable parallel processing system has been applied to a range of applications including image processing front-end and novel DCT compression methods.
