Final Year Project

Project Title

Design and Implementation of Fault-Tolerant RISC-V Architecture on FPGA

Description

Project Objective: Digital systems are vulnerable to run-time faults because of external conditions which alter the functionality of the circuit. There is a need of designing a fault-tolerant and self-healing the architecture along with the implementation of a soft-core processor for sensitive applications which involve highly classified data. Project Implementation Method: Implementation of the RISC-V processor is done on Zedboard (FPGA) using Vivado (software). Fault-tolerant architecture is implemented using the same software (Vivado). Communication with FPGA using software is developed in Python with the help of the Tkinter toolkit. Benefits of the Project: The sensitive defence industry requires both a fault-tolerant architecture and the FPGA integrated with open instruction set architecture (ISA). Therefore, there is a need to design a fault-tolerant RISC-V architecture and implemented it on FPGA. This novel approach will also enable educational institutes to perform quality research using the way forward. (Group Project)
