De-RISC’s third use case
The validation of the De-RISC platform involves several end-user use-case applications, representative of aerospace scenarios. The third use-case is representative of a satellite flight software, including a wide set of functions and resource usage. It consists of a...
De-RISC consortium participates in Space Computing Conference (SCC) 2021
On August 23rd to 26th, De-RISC partners attended the 2021 IEEE Space Computing Conference to communicate the progress of the H2020 project in an event that covers main aspects of De-RISC’s main industry: space. The 2021 IEEE Space Computing Conference was held as an...
The De-RISC FPGA Board
The De-RISC project develops a platform consisting of several elements: The fentISS XtratuM hypervisorThe De-RISC SoC design, which is a multi-processor system featuring the NOEL-V RISC-V RV64GCH processor core and several communication interfacesThe De-RISC FPGA...
LithOS in De-RISC
ARINC-653 Application/Executive (APEX) is a standard interface for avionic software applications allowing to build partitioned systems. The combination of XtratuM and LithOS, as a hypervisor’s guest Operating System (OS), allows building partitioned systems based on...
The partners of De-RISC take an active role in RISC-V International activities related to Safety.
As the De-RISC project is a Community Member of RISC-V International, in addition to BSC, Cobham Gaisler and Thales being strategic or community members, the consortium takes part in several technical working groups and special interest groups within the non-profit...
7th progress meeting in De-RISC
On July 8th, all partners from De-RISC consortium attended the 7th progress meeting of the project to discuss the progress made in the last months. All work package leaders shared all the advances and results obtained during this...
De-RISC participates in OBDP
Last week, De-RISC consortium participated in the 2nd European Workshop on On-Board Data Processing (OBDP 2021) during a fully virtual session. From 14th to 17th June, several participants attended this workshop bringing together experts from...
Spreading the word about De-RISC in the avionics industry
De-RISC builds upon two key central technologies: the NOEL-V based SoC by Cobham Gaisler and the XtratuM hypervisor and related software components by fentISS. However, additional differentiating technology has been integrated into the SoC: the SafeSU statistics unit...
Interview with Paco Gómez, project coordinator of De-RISC
Paco Gómez, project coordinator of De-RISC and CEO of fentISS: “It is really satisfying to see how the project continues its development properly and how people with different expertise work together to achieve a common goal.” Where does the idea for De-RISC come...
De-RISC’s second use case
The validation of the De-RISC platform involves several end-user use-case applications, representative of aerospace scenarios. The second use-case which will be developed in De-RISC Project named Command and Data Handling Subsystem, is intended as a representative...
Implementation of the RISC-V H Extension within De-RISC
The first outline of the De-RISC System-on-Chip platform had general-purpose processing elements consisting of NOEL-V RISC-V RV64GC processor cores. During the Platform Requirements Definition phase of the project, the consortium identified a need for implementation...
Sixth progress meeting
On April 22nd 2021, the De-RISC consortium had its sixth progress meeting which, once more, had to be held online due to the COVID-19 restrictions. This meeting brought together all partners in order to share the new updates and results of the project obtained along...
Contention control in De-RISC
BSC’s SafeSU, part of De-RISC, is a powerful multicore-interference oriented statistics unit allowing to monitor and control how much contention each core (or master) causes on each other. One of its key features is its ability to set quotas to multicore interference...
The importance of virtualization techniques in embedded systems
In the last years, virtualization techniques have grown up and have become very important in the space domain. In this article, De-RISC project will review the different aspects of this capability which is increasing software agility, flexibility and scalability while...
