Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

Hi

I would like to hear about experiences involving installing EPICS on an FPGA, mainly the following:

·         A brief idea about the control system involved and why an FPGA implementation was better.

·         What was the hardware platform used? Xilinx, Intel, etc.

·         What software tools used? Vendor-specific (Xilinx Vivado, Intel Quartus, etc.) or 3^rd party tools were used?

·         What soft processor was used? Or an SoC-FPGA was used?

We have a control system running on an old PowerPC CPU with a deterministic fiber-optic interface and I am researching the idea of implementing it on FPGA.

Thanks for any insight.

Best Regards,
