EIA-709.1 Control Network Protocol is the basic protocol of LonWorks systems that is emerg-ing as a fieldbus device. In this paper the protocol is implemented by using VHDL with FPGA and C program on an Intel 8051 processor. The protocol from the physical layer to the network layer of EIA-709.1 is im-plemented in a hardware level,. So it decreases the load of the CPU for implementing the protocol. We verify the commercial feasibility of the hardware through the communication test with Neuron Chip. based on EIA-709.1 protocol which is used in industrial fields. The developed protocol based on FPGA becomes one of IP can be applicable to various industrial field because it is implemented by VHDL.

As mobile systems are performing various functionality in the IoT (Internet of Things) era, network-on-chip (NoC) plays a pivotal role to support communication between the tens and in the future potentially hundreds of interacting modules in system-on-chips (SoCs). Owing to intensive research efforts more than a decade, NoCs are now widely adopted in various SoC designs. Especially, studies on application-specific NoCs (ASNoCs) that consider the heterogeneous nature of modern SoCs contribute a significant share to use of NoCs in actual SoCs, i.e., ASNoC connects non-uniform processing units, memory, and other intellectual properties (IPs) using flexible router positions and communication paths. Although it is not difficult to find the prior works on ASNoC synthesis and optimization, little research has addressed the issues how to convert different protocols and data widths to make a NoC compatible with various IPs. Thus, in this paper, we address important issues on ASNoC implementation to support and convert multiple interfaces. Based on the in-depth discussions, we finally introduce our FPGA-proven full-custom ASNoC.

In this paper, the RUNCODE encoder hardware IP was designed and implemented for symbol ID code length encoding, which is one of major modules of JBIG2 encoder for FAX. ImpulseC Codeveloper and Xilinx ISE/EDK program are used for the hardware generation and synthesis of VHDL code. The synthesized hardware was downloaded to Virtex-4 FX60 FPGA on ML410 development board. The synthesized hardware utilizes 13% of total slice of FPGA. Using Active-HDL tool, the hardware was verified showing normal operation. Compared with the software operating using Microblaze cpu on ML410 board, the synthesized hardware was better in operation time. The improvement ratio of operation time between the synthesized hardware and software showed about 40 times faster than software only operation. The synthesized H/W and S/W module cooperated to succeed in compressing the CCITT standard document.

In this paper, we propose a method to accelerate BWN based on FPGA with limited resources for embedded system. Because of the limited number of logic elements available, a single computing unit capable of handling Conv-layer, FC-layer of various sizes must be designed and reused. Also, if the input feature map can not be parallel processed at one time, the output must be calculated by reading the inputs several times. Since the number of available BRAM modules is limited, the number of data bits in the BWN accelerator must be minimized. The image classification processing time of the BWN accelerator is superior when compared with a embedded CPU and is faster than a desktop PC and 50% slower than a GPU system. Since the BWN accelerator uses a slow clock of 50MHz, it can be seen that the BWN accelerator is advantageous in performance versus power.

In this paper, we design a combined security processor, ECC, MD-5, and AES, as a SIP for cryptography of securing contents. Each SIP is modeled and designed in VHDL and implemented as a reusable macro through logic synthesis, simulation and FPGA verification. To communicate with an ARM9 core, we design a BFM(Bus Functional Model) according to AMBA AHB specification. The combined security SIP for a platform-based SoC is implemented by integrating ECC, AES and MD-5 using the design kit including the ARM9 RISC core, one million-gate FPGA. Finally, it is fabricated into a MPW chip using Magna chip $0.25{\mu}m(4.7mm{\times}4.7mm$) CMOS technology.

A secure and effective on-chip bus for detecting and preventing malicious attacks by infected IPs is presented in this paper. Most system inter-connects (on-chip bus) are vulnerable to hardware Trojan (Malware) attack because all data and control signals are routed. A proposed secure bus with modifications in arbitration, address decoding, and wrapping for bus master and slaves is designed using the Advanced High-Performance and Advance Peripheral Bus (AHB and APB Bus). It is implemented with the concept that arbiter checks share of masters and manage infected masters and slaves in every transaction. The proposed hardware is designed with the Xilinx 14.7 ISE and verified using the HBE-SoC-IPD test board equipped with Virtex4 XC4VLX80 FPGA device. The design has a total gate count of 39K at an operating frequency of 313MHz using the $0.13{\mu}m$ TSMC process.

This paper presents a study on the Full-HD HEVC(High Efficiency Video Coding) encoder IP(Intellectual Property) design. The designed IP is for HEVC main profile 4.1, and performs encoding with a speed of 60 fps of full high definition. Before hardware and software design, overall reference model was developed with C language, and we proposed a parallel processing architecture for low-power consumption. And also we coded firmware and driver programs relating IP. The platform for verification of developed IP was developed, and we verified function and performance for various pictures under several encoding conditions by implementing designed IP to FPGA board. Compared to HM-13.0, about 35% decrease in bit-rate under same PSNR was achieved, and about 25% decrease in power consumption under low-power mode was performed.

In this research the TOF (time of flight) of ultrasonic signal is measured using Xilinx's Zynq SoC (system on chip). The TOF is calculated from the difference between periods during which RF (radio frequency) and ultrasonic signals come across a distance, and then travelling distance is obtained by multiplying the TOF by the ultrasonic speed in the air. For this purpose, a ultrasonic pulse is generated from a Zynq's internal ADC, a FIR (finite impulse response) filter, and a Kalman filter. And a RF reference pulse is generated from a RF interface. Based on baremetal multiprocessing, the Kalman filter and the RF interface are c-programmed on Zynq's dual processor cores, with other components fabricated on Zynq's FPGA. With this HW/SW co-design, both lower resource utilization and much smaller designing period were obtained than the HW design. As a design tool, Vivado IDE(integrated design environment) is used to design the whole signal processing system in hierarchical block diagrams.
