GNU/Linux and reconfigurable multiprocessor FPGA platform

The article presents multiprocessor system on chip (MPSoC), which uses dynamic partial reconfiguration of FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) to change parts of system depending on performed task requirements. The multiprocessor system is based on softcore processors running modified GNU/Linux operating system. The individual parts are designed for connection via standard interface for high performance and bandwidth intensive applications with support for multiprocessor system. Operating system will be modified for choosing most suitable hardware module from set of partial bitstreams stored in application or in operating system.
