Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present a new approach in evaluating Software Fault Tolerance (SFT) methodologies. It is the way on how to ensure fault tolerance without any additional hardware as is common in frequently used Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR). As our research is focused on electromechanical systems which are commonly driven by processors or Multi Processors Systems on Chip (MPSoC) we decided to use the soft-core processor running on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) as our experimental platform. The new approach uses Functional Verification for automation of the evaluation process. The functional verification environment is one of the important parts of the presented evaluation platform architecture. Programs generation for a processor, where SFT is applied, is also important. Experiments with the programs generator and fault injection are presented and goals for future work are identified on that basis.
