In this paper the Controller Area Network (CAN) Controller is presented. CAN is an advance serial bus communication protocol that efficiently supports distributed, broadcast real-time control and fault tolerance features for automobile industries to provide congestion free networking. The CAN Controller is designed for scheduling of messages, consist of the Transmitter Controller, FIFO buffer, CRC generator and bit stuffer. Scheduling messages on CAN corresponds to assigning identifiers (IDs) to message according to their priorities. Non Return to Zero (NRZ) coding and Non Destructive Bitwise Arbitration (NDBA) is used. The data is taken from the buffer FIFO, bit stuffed and then transmitted after CRC is performed. The whole design is captured entirely in VHDL language using bottom up design and verification methodology. The proposed controller was designed for applications needing high level data integrity and data rates upto 1Mbps. The applications of CAN are factory automation, machine control, automobile, avionics and aerospace, building automation.

The data acquisition and processing architecture covers the most demanding applications of continuousmonitoring in industrial field. The multichannel data acquisition is essential for acquiring and monitoring the various signals from industrial sensors. The problem is that the data storage and hardware size, so the multichannel data obtained is processed at runtime and stored in an external storage for future reference. The method of implementing the proposed design is by using the ARM Cortex M-3 Processor to reduce the hardware size. The Cortex M-3 attains high resolution. A Eight channel data acquisition processing (DAQP) and Controlling was designed, developed using the Lab VIEW graphical programming. The module was designed in order to provide high accuracy, storage and portability. The system designed is not specific for any sensor acquisition, so any sensor having signal conditioning circuit built can be connected to the DAQ (Data Acquisition System). ARM controller is used as heart of the DAQ.

Reconfigurable computing for DSP remains an active area to explore as the need for incorporation with more conventional DSP technologies turn out to be obvious. Conventionally, the majority of the work in the area of reconfigurable computing is aimed on fine grained FPGA devices. Over the years, the focus is shifted from bit level granularity to a coarse grained composition. FIR filter remains and persist to be an important building block in various DSP systems. It computes the output by multiplying input samples with a set of coefficients followed by addition. Here multipliers and adders are modeled using the concept of divide and conquer. For developing a reconfiguarble FIR filter, different tap filters are designed as separate reconfigurable modules. Furthermore, there is an additional concern for making the system fault tolerant. A fault detection mechanism is introduced to detect the faults based on the nature of operands. The reconfigurable modules are structurally modeled in Verilog HDL and simulated and synthesized using Xilinx ISE 14.2. A comparison of the device utilization of reconfigurable modules is also presented in this paper by implementing the design on various Virtex FPGA devices.

This paper present a new method of conception of hardware/software embedded system design methodology based on use of design pattern approach called Abstract_factory. We called this new design tool “smart cell”. The main idea of the conception of embedded systems design is based on the used of object-oriented design ULM2.0. When the smart-cell is implemented, we justify their uses as a design tool that allows, first, to develop a specified application of fuzzy controller called PDC (parallel distributed conpensation). Second, the specification of the generation phases of the system architecture design, and eventually partitioning the application on heterogeneous platform based on hardware resource DSP and FPGA software to illustrate the proposed approach.

This paper aims for providing a viable solution for security in streaming media technology. Service providers do not want the end users to capture and duplicate streaming media data. Once captured data can be re-distributed to millions without any control from the source. Licensing issues also dictate the number of times end user may utilize the data. Encryption is not sufficient as it leaves the system vulnerable to duplication and recording after decryption. In this paper an attempt has been made to transmit digital multimedia data to multiple users. The transmission of the video/audio data has been attempted from one PC to another PC. While doing this, security considerations have to be taken care by using suitable encryption/decryption techniques. A research carried out on the different data transmission protocols reveals that the Secure Real Time Transport Protocol (SRTP) is one of the best available protocols. Hence the SRTP has been deployed in this project on Linux OS using socket programming. The code for the transmitter and the receiver is designed and developed around the SRTP library for transmission of multimedia data. The solution is illustrated by choosing an example of a video clip for transmission and reception. This model increasing the security of streaming media and adds a measure of integrity protection, but it is primarily intended to aid in replay preventions.

In this paper presents algorithms and architecture designs that can meet real-time requirements of for several user channel estimation and detection in code-division multiple-access-based wireless base-station receivers. Entangled algorithms proposed to implement several user channel assessment and demodulation make their real-time execution difficult on current digital signal processor-based receivers. A based several user channel assessment scheme requiring matrix conversion is draft again from an demodulation perspective for a reduced intricacy, repetitive scheme with a simple fixed-point very large scale integration architecture. A reduced-intricacy, bit-streaming several user demodulation algorithm that avoids the need for demodulation is also developed for a simple, pipelined VLSI architecture. Thus, we develop real-time solutions for several user channel assessment and demodulation for third-generation wireless systems by: 1) designing the algorithms from a fixed-point execution perspective, without significant loss in error rate performance; 2) task partitioning; and 3) designing bit-streaming fixed-point VLSI architectures that explore pipelining, correspondence, and bit-level computations to achieve real-time with minimum area overhead.

Several embedded application domains for reconfigurable systems tend to combine frequent changes with high performance demands of their workloads such as image processing, wearable computing andnetwork processors. Time multiplexing of reconfigurable hardware resources raises a number of new issues, ranging from run-time systems to complex programming models that usually form a Reconfigurablehardware Operating System (ROS). The Operating System performs online task scheduling and handles resource management.There are many challenges in adaptive computing and dynamic reconfigurable systems. One of the major understudied challengesis estimating the required resources in terms of soft cores, Programmable Reconfigurable Regions (PRRs), the appropriate communication infrastructure, and to predict a near optimal layout and floor-plan of the reconfigurable logic fabric. Some of these issues are specific to the application being designed, while others are more general and relate to the underlying run-time environment.Static resource allocation for Run-Time Reconfiguration (RTR) often leads to inferior and unacceptable results. In this paper, we present a novel adaptive and dynamic methodology, based on a Machine Learning approach, for predicting andestimating the necessary resources for an application based on past historical information.An important feature of the proposed methodology is that the system is able to learn and generalize and, therefore, is expected to improve its accuracy over time. The goal of the entire process is to extract useful hidden knowledge from the data. This knowledge is the prediction and estimation of the necessary resources for an unknown or not previously seen application.
