Abstract

The concept of partial bit stream relocation activity, the run time relocation can be obtained by using a system component. It is able to update the bitstream information and moving the reconfigurable module to a desired position. In Dynamic partial reconfiguration, it provides the possibility to change certain parts of the hardware while the other parts of the system remain in use. It provides a methodology to generate bitstreams for removal of old hardware modules, and placement and routing of new hardware modules. Relocation filter is implemented as a software component. The data errors can be detected and corrected by using the cyclic redundancy check and it is then fed into a system. Reconfiguration process is done over here by keeping cyclic redundancy check as a static part and bitstream relocation filter as a reconfigurable one. Finally the area require to store the Bitstream is analysed. Using module based partial reconfiguration; we can dramatically increase the functionality of a single FPGA in terms of the memory that is used to store the bitstreams. Important applications for this technology include reconfigurable communication and cryptographic systems.
