Abstract
Aiming at improving the performance and reducing cost of real-time-Ethernet-based control system, a new multiprocessors reconfigurable embedded platform is proposed in this paper. The asymmetric dual NIOS II processors are adopted in this platform. The application software is executed in one processor, and the real-time Ethernet protocol runs on the other processor. The μC/OS-II operating system runs on both of the processors as RTOS. A novel technique for inter-processors’ communication is proposed as well. The implementation of the system is described, and the comparison between the proposed platform and the traditional platform is made in this paper.
