Low Power Bluetooth Baseband with a RISC-V Core for Autonomous Sensors using Chisel

The number of IoT devices and their applications is projected to continue increasing in the future, creating a demand for low-power wireless communications that allow IoT devices to either be connected directly to the internet or to use other devices as a back gate to it. BLE is already one of the most used wireless communication protocols for...

Embedded System Design for Bioelectronic Interface to Sensory Cortex

Visual perception is a pillar of human life. Visual impairment, therefore, has a severe impact on the quality of life. The Bioelectronic Interface to Sensory Cortex (BISC) project is aimed at building a system capable of both recording and stimulating neurons in order to remedy visual impairment. The proposed BISC system consists of three...

These systems can be found in a wide variety of areas that yield significant impact. Therefore, there is an increasing demand for fast and accurate systems,...

Hardware Components for Real-Time Stereo Matching: Acceleration of 3D HD TV with FPGAs

In recent 3D TV market, the technologies addressing to the applications such as stereoscopic depth scaling, glass-free 3D display, and Free Viewpoint TV are getting more attentions. A low-cost solution that can synthesize intermediate views from stereoscopic input contents(left and right camera views) is strongly needed. To render the...

An Off-Chip Bridge for On-Chip Network-Based Systems Supporting Traffic Quality of Service

Prototyping Systems on Chip (SoC) on FPGA technology improves the time that the de- signer needs to spend in the verification stage when developing new systems or upgrading the existing ones. However, FPGA prototyping is very challenging due to the few resources available in this chips, and often the large designs do not fit into one single FPGA...

Design and Implementation of Real-Time High-Defnition Stereo Matching SoC on FPGA

Stereo matching has been widely used in many fields, such as viewpoint interpolation, feature detection system and free-view TV. However, the long processing time of stereo matching algorithms has been the major bottleneck that limits their real-time applications. During the past decades, many implementation platforms and corresponding algorithm...

Reconfigurable Trigger Logic for Electronic Instrumentation in Space Applications

Future space missions have to rely on advanced, smart and very light payloads in order to explore the solar system within a reasonable cost envelope. For this reason, efforts are made to obtain higher levels of integration that can reduce costs and allow the presence of more and more instruments on board of small spacecrafts. With the advent of...
