Using Remote Data Acquisition Units in Harsh Environmental Conditions
This paper looks at the challenges of designing a small data acquisition system that can provide hundreds of channels of measurement capability while operating in tight spaces exposed to fluids, high vibration, and extremes of temperature.
How Does the FMC (FPGA Mezzanine Card) Standard Measure up Against the PMC/XMC Format White Paper
Interest in reconfigurable embedded computing in the defense and aerospace market has grown significantly as new generations of FPGAs present developers with a level of processing performance and potential I/O bandwidth that cannot easily be matched by conventional CPU configurations.
Interoperability Considerations Between Different Host FMC and FMC Mezzanine Vendors White Paper
In the same way as one might strip out unnecessary weight in a car aimed for racing, the FMC is a performance solution that strips away unnecessary generic interfaces for direct FPGA driven I/O. But that requires knowledge to achieve the desired performance and to ensure the host and FMC module will work well together. This paper outlines some of the considerations in order to assess and the ensure that the host and module will integrate.
