Embedded High Assurance Computing using the Freescale™ Trust Architecture
It is becoming evident that embedded computing solutions used in mil/aero applications will need to provide high assurance computing in order to ensure overall mission safety and high availability systems, and specifically safeguard the integrity, confidentiality and security of the data within and between systems.
Interoperability Considerations Between Different Host FMC and FMC Mezzanine Vendors
In the same way as one might strip out unnecessary weight in a car aimed for racing, the FMC is a performance solution that strips away unnecessary generic interfaces for direct FPGA driven I/O. But that requires knowledge to achieve the desired performance and to ensure the host and FMC module will work well together.
