Abstract
It is the objective of the ACROSS project to develop and implement an ARTEMIS cross-domain architecture for embedded MPSoCs based on the architecture blueprint developed in the FP7 project GENESYS (Generic Embedded System Architecture).
ACROSS will result in the design of a generic Multi-Processor Systems-on-a-Chip (MPSoC) and a first implementation in an FPGA. The ACROSS MPSoC will provide a stable set of core services as a foundation for the component-based development of embedded systems with short-time-to-market, low cost and high dependability.
The ACROSS-MPSoC will be a universal platform for automotive, aerospace and industrial control systems in order to realize the benefits of the economies of scale of the semiconductor technology.
Additionally, the ACROSS-MPSoC platform provides significant potential for being adopted by other industries with safety-critical data communication requirements such as applications in the medical, power generation, space domains, to mention just a few. Using the core services of the ACROSS-MPSoC, a library of middleware services will be realized in the ACROSS project. Generic middleware will offer services to be used in multiple application domains (e.g., fault-tolerance, diagnosis, security), while domain-specific middleware will implement domain-specific services for specific domains (e.g., AUTOSAR services for the automotive domain, IMA services for the avionic domain). Another significant result of the project will be a general design methodology, supported by appropriate adaptable tools, for the implementation of ACROSS-based applications.
The benefits of the cross-domain architecture will be shown in demonstrators from the targeted application domains.
