ARAMiS - Automotive, Railway and Avionic Multicore System

Research Focus

 In this ongoing research project, the possibilities and challenges of using multicore processors for automotive, mixed-critical applications are being explored. Tasks of such applications are partitioned and separated into virtual machines (VMs).

Executing VMs on one processor implies that all VMs require physical access to an external communication bus (e.g. CAN bus). While using multiple communication controllers to grant access for each VM is possible, smarter approaches can save resources and be more flexible at the same time.

The goal in this project is to extend/enable existing automotive field bus communication controllers for virtualization and multicore access.

Approach

 Based on a detailed analysis of protocols of existing field buses and their interfaces (timing, data throughput, control flow, ...) regarding virtualization and multicore enablement we enhance the controllers.

Primary focus will be in HW with extensions for providing flexible, freely assignable virtual interfaces for one device and dedicated interrupts, DMA transfers and memory management per virtual interface.

This will be implemented in an FPGA prototype.
