Abstract: With the advent of internet of things (IoT) and ubiquitous computing, the need for resource aware reconfiguration platform is increasing tremendously. Though a number of dynamic partial reconfiguration systems are available, they consume a significant portion of base system area in comparison with the application running on the system. Larger area requirements of reconfigurable platform cannot take the advantage of reconfigurable systems. Hence, a light weighted and flexible reconfigurable framework with remote access reconfiguration is proposed. The system occupied less than 1% of the total device resources and attained 400 MBps reconfiguration throughput. This framework can be used to any number of reconfiguration regions and is suitable for any application. The proposed framework for partial dynamic reconfiguration through remote access is tested on Virtex 5 XC5VFX70T and Virtex 6 XC6VLX240T FPGAs with 1 Gbps Ethernet link.
