Abstract

Fault tolerance is one of the techniques that will ensure reliability of electronic systems. There are many fault-tolerance methodologies targeted towards various systems and technologies, and new methodologies are being investigated. It is also important to verify these techniques; this is the main topic of this paper. An evaluation platform for testing fault-tolerance methodologies targeted towards SRAM-based FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) is presented and demonstrated. A robot for seeking a path through a maze and the processor-based robot controller serve as an experimental system case study. Experimental results with the unhardened and hardened versions of the processor-based robot controller are presented and discussed.
