Final Year Project

Project Title

Design and Implementation of a Fault-tolerant RISC-V Architecture on FPGA

Description

Processors in space face unique challenges due to the effects of high radiation. Devices and processors used in such critical conditions require a high level of protection, accuracy and security. Keeping this scenario in mind, the aim is to design a processor with fault-tolerant capability. The approach to this problem is based on designing and implementing a RISC-V Architecture on FPGA and making it fault-tolerant. The key features of the solution include the implementation of RISC-V on FPGA which offers the advantage of reduced and simple instructions set while developing a fault-tolerant ALU for architecture is another key feature for sensitive applications. It will benefit the space exploration and aircraft manufacturing industries which demand zero tolerance levels for faults. (Group Project)
