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 3rd 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,
